On the subject of a cheaper, Kinect-less SKU: the Kinect enables a ton of functionality native to the console, such as the LiveTV/OneGuide capability, TV/STB/Receiver control, auto sign-in, Skype, and game control. It's just not going to happen.

The only reason you haven't seen a similar price bump for the Xbox One is because there is still tons of stock left in Canada that was purchased by retailers when the exchange rate was better. PS4 on the other hand sells out immediately when a retailer brings it in, so of course you'd see the price increase right away thanks to the lower Canadian dollar
