Marc Whitten：Xbox One的设计初衷就是配合Kinect接入运行的。它使得游戏在很多方面变得更好。。。。。。（译者注：blabla很多Kinect带来的方便之处，这里就不翻了……）也就是说，就像联网一样，即便Kinect没有接入但主机仍然会工作，你只是不能使用任何直接与依赖于Kinect的特性或体验。
系统工作的时候Kinect能“关闭”到什么地步？
Marc Whitten：你能在设置里面彻底关闭这个传感器。在这个模式下，传感器不会收集任何信息。任何有关语音、视频、手势及其他相关功能都不会工作。我们在这个模式下仍然支持红外遥控功能。你可以通过设置恢复传感器功能，如果你进入了一个需要Kinect的游戏（例如《Kinect体育竞技》），你会收到一条信息问你是否想要打开传感器使得游戏继续进行。
但微软并不会推出不带Kinect的X1，只是给了玩家拔掉Kinect的选择
Since Kinect must be plugged in for the Xbox One to function, what happens if your Kinect breaks? Like if it falls off the top of your TV onto a hardwood floor or something? Will the console cease to function?
Marc Whitten: Xbox One is designed to work with Kinect plugged in. It makes gaming better in many ways – from the ability to say “Xbox On” and get right to your personalized homescreen, to the ability to control your TV through voice, Smartglass and more. Kinect allows you to search for your content, instantly move between games and your personalized dash and more with just your voice. Kinect helps you pick up and play by automatically knowing which controller you have in your hands. No more need to interrupt your friends game or navigate through multiple UI screens to sign in and tell the system which controller you are holding. It will even bind the controller to the console if its currently unbound – no searching for special buttons! Of course – these are just a few of the system wide benefits of having Kinect. Games use Kinect in a variety of amazing ways from adding voice to control your squad mates to adding lean and other simple controls beyond the controller to full immersive gameplay. That said, 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.
