The backpedaling continues?

The rumor of its removal came from Jonathan Liedtke, an editor for UWindosor Lance.
"BREAKING: @Xbox media relations confirms to me via email that #kinect sensor IS NOT required for #XboxOne. #privacy #drm #prism #microsoft"
He then followed up with this bomb shell:
".@Xbox confirms NO #XboxOne price drop due to NO kinect requirement. #XboxOne is "competitively priced" & xbox is "confident with the value."
I'm working on verifying this, but if true, it is an interesting turn of events. One would assume the removal of the Kinect requirement would correlate with a reduction of price. Maybe they are still planning on shipping units with the Kinect, keeping the price but removing the function?
If true this means Microsoft has blatantly lied regarding their hardware being built around both their previous digital rights management and now the Kinect requirement.
