My original timeline was ~5years from the start of project kinect - which started with the 360. feel free to re-read.
This was your question: Do you have any explanation why the Xbox one had two major issues at launch, but only fixed the DRM one? Why did they have to wait years before decoupling kinect from the product - that was hated by ardent gamers - even xbox fans - and they didn't want to pay £100 extra for kinect for a weaker machine. How do you explain that decision if my recall is fiction?
MS did respond very quickly to the pricing concern along with uncoupling kinect from the system. That part of your recall is fiction. They could only make that change so fast, considering they already had production running and the original bundle sold like hotcakes at the start, it took a bit of time for it to become obvious that the $500 pricing was going to tank sales.
