This would be a great move by Microsoft.

But at some point, they seem to be just giving Sony more fuel. So they're going to take another step towards making their system identical to the PS4 after Sony took that stance from the start and this is a good thing? They seem to be setting themselves up to create a simplified motto of "We're everything the PS4 is except we have a camera and a $100 higher price point!". They need to find a way to distinguish themselves from the PS4 rather than create the exact same console.

I said it before and I'll say it again. Between the PS3 launch debacle and the X1 launch debacle, you could make a semester class at a business school of how not to introduce a product to the mass market.
