Everyone's talking about Microsoft's sudden decision to remove the Kinect from an upcoming Xbox One bundle.  With the motion camera add-on now demoted to an optional accessory, we spend this episode of Power Button discussing what this means to the marketplace, the consumers, and the developers who were hard at work on games that require Kinect.  That leads us into wondering if Nintendo will follow suit and drop the GamePad from its Wii U package.  Join us for an hour of conversation and predictions.  Download this week's episode directly from PTB, listen with the player below, find us on Stitcher, subscribe via iTunes, toss this RSS feed into your podcast aggregation software of choice, and be sure to catch up on past episodes if you're joining us late.
