Microsoft's Xbox One game console will sell for $399 without a kinect sensor, come June 9th.
According to Reuters, the change will allow the company to compete with Sony's PlayStation 4 sales.
Microsoft's head of Xbox told The San Francisco Chronicle that the company wanted to cater to more users.
"Value is important," Phil Spencer said. "Making sure you have an opening price point that can reach as many people as possible is critical."
Microsoft was previously hesitant to separate the two components until Tuesday's announcement.
Consumers can still buy the system's $499 Kinect bundle and pair it with an individual machine without the extra equipment, Reuters reported.
The kinect sensor enables Xbox One, and Xbox 360 players to operate the device simply by talking. Individuals can also connect the console to their satellite television equipment in order to watch TV, flip back and forth between gaming - or view shows.
