Microsoft has said that each and every Xbox One will come bundled with the new Kinect. Although you do not need it for the Xbox One to power on, the Kinect is a major component of the Xbox One's entity.

My questions is, what happens if the Kinect sensor actually breaks? For example, a Wii Remote accident or maybe the sensor just falls off the TV while moving stuff around and it shatters. It could happen.

Will the new Kinect be sold separately? Or will consumers be forced to buy a whole new XBox One system package? If so, how much will the new Kinect sensor sell for by itself? The assumption would be $100 given the $100 price difference between XBox and the PS4, but you never know.

Will consumers get screwed if their Xbox One Kinect accident break or fail?
