Xbox One is more interesting now without Kinect, says GameStop

Microsoft’s decision to remove mandatory Kinect from its Xbox One console bundles appears to be paying off, according to retailer GameStop.

Speaking with IGN, GameStop president Tony Bartel told investors at a recent briefing, “I definitely think we’re already seeing in our stores [that] there’s a stronger demand as a result of the price drop

“The good news for us is we’ll sell a lot more units and that means there will be more [Xbox One] units out there to put software on.”
