Online DRM isn't as big of a problem as people make it out to be. If game prices are lower, people will swallow it. I don't think that will be the case however. Either way, I would argue that paying for multiplayer is a much bigger issue, and that afflicts both consoles now.
The mandatory camera though, is a huge deal-breaker. I for one am not putting an always on - always connected camera in my house. There is no way I am buying an Xbone unless they release a kinect-less SKU, and I know many people who think likewise.
Last but not least, the price puts a huge handicap on sales potential for the Xbone. Many analysts put the 400$ mark, as the maximum price point for a console to be able to achieve massive sales. 100 dollars more may not seem a lot to the affluent, but for the average consumer it is simply over budget.
All things considered, I predict that Xbone's steep price, more than anything else will severely handicap its sales potential.
