Will putting kinect in every box really change anything?

I actually think that having a Kinect in every box will also help the PS4 out. Since it's a standard in every Xbox One and a dev uses it's abilities, why not modify it to work on the PSEye also? They already spent the resources of utilizing it on the One. So instead of an afterthought, it's automatic. I'm talking about multiplats.

It was a wise move by Sony to not include the Eye, because MS is already making way for the developement. Sony is able to sell there console for $100 cheaper and make it more appealing to the masses, while also benefiting from Microsoft standardization.

Thats actually an interesting observation. Sony is playing this chess game perfectly.

That probably would be true if both devices operated the same but they do not.  It will be much easier for MS to give a little fund for developers to use Kinect in their games compared to developers adding the same features to Sony product when the install base is a wild guess.  Always remember time is money and i a developer isn't getting paid for it or can confirm enough install base then its not worth their time, money or resources to do it.

they actually do operate the same way.

rolls eyes. No....not what kind of camera it uses. smacks forehead*

The cameras both interpret movements into "inputs". They don't go into such great depths as z-axis's and you distance. It's just, for example, 'thumb' or 'right leg'. Those are your "buttons". Then moving the right leg up, "pushes the button". Programming one and working on the other is like programming to use an xbox controller and then porting it to a pstation controller.
