Majority of Xbox One owners with Kinect still use it

Formerly essential, now just useful.

When Xbox One was announced, Kinect was so integrated into the system that it wouldn't even work without it. Since then, Microsoft has stepped further and further away from everything Kinect and today it isn't even sold with the console anymore and the games using it are almost non-existant.

Still, those who have the peripheral are many, and they're still using it. A lot. This was revealed in an interview with Mike Nichols, the chief marketing officer for Xbox:

"I can say that the people with Kinect still make up a very, very sizable portion and that those people do use it quiet frequently. Less for games, but a lot more for biometric sign-in and user interface."

Do you have a Kinect for Xbox One, and more importantly - do you use it?

Thanks, Polygon
