Kinect For Windows Is Dead; Long Live Kinect For Windows Via USB

Posted by timothy on from the sir-this-teapot-may-not-be-able-to-weather-the-tempest dept.

puddingebola writes Microsoft has announced it will no longer manufacture Kinect for Windows. Only the Xbox One version will be available for purchase. Microsoft said it could not meet demand for the device, a strange claim for a company to make. The console version, though, will still work with Windows by way of a USB adapter, and as pointed out by this similar story at Gamespot, for about the same total price.

    Given his philanthropic generosity for helping out genuinely poor countries, I doubt he views anyone making a developer's salary as poor.
