Only the older white Xbox 360 needs a power supply for Kinect. The newer models don't.

If you have the original Xbox 360 (the older, white one), then yes, the Kinect sensor requires a separate power supply to function. But if you're using an Xbox 360 S or a newer model, it plugs directly into the console without needing an additional power source. Happy gaming!

Guess what? I had the white Xbox 360 and YES, it absolutely needed a power supply for Kinect. When I upgraded to Xbox 360 S, things got way simpler since it just plugged right in. So, it depends on your console version.
