THE GAMES CONSOLE Xbox One will work without being connected to a Kinect.
Until now we had been told that Microsoft's next games console would not work without the Kinect contraption, but in an apparent Xbox One about-face Microsoft has changed its mind.
Microsoft chief product officer Marc Whitte confirmed the change last night in a talk at IGN, explaining that while it had been the case before, those days are now over.
"Like online, the console will still function if Kinect isn't plugged in, although you won't be able to use any feature or experience that explicitly uses the sensor," he said.
