According to multiple sources, in the months leading up to E3, Sony nixed plans to include the camera add-on with every system and shave $100 off its originally planned price of $499.

By relegating the camera to a $59.99 add-on, Sony has ensured the opposite — a climate of codependency wherein PlayStation 4 camera adoption will hinge upon compelling software, but compelling software will only arrive after PlayStation 4 camera adoption.
Why not include the camera and drop the price to $449? Still 50 bucks cheaper than Xbone. How large is the segment of gamers that would pay $50 dollars more for an Xbox but not 100?

I thought the same thing. But a $100 difference does look a lot more significant than only a $50 one.

Because the camera bundle also had a game they dropped
They may still sell it soon but this was going to be the original $500 bundle.
