Like how sony forced blu ray onto people? 

Similar idea. But different. One, A bluray player is internal. No visible useless object or setup is needed. And DVD's weren't disallowed or something else dumb. Kinect is forced in order to even use the console. Only the price point was the PS3's enemy. Kinect has more negatives for a person who doesn't want it.

What the hell are you talking about with the "more negatives"... Not different at all; both included with/in the console and forced by MS/Sony and both adding additional features, nothing negative (the fact you do not care about the features is another thing).

The only negatives are for people believing in big conspiracies which is hilarious :)

Kinect Negatives to people who don't like it:

Forced to put something on top of your TV. Extra setup for a device the person doesn't want.

Added cost to overall system.

Forced to be pluged in to just turn system on.

Bluray drive Negatives:

It's reads slow.

It made the cost of the console too high for several years.

A Bluray drive in the end doesn't dissallow CD or DVD usage. You aren't forced to buy a HDTV with the PS3. And it's your system disc drive. Which you do need.

The Kinect is a added external device. That just adds voice control options, camera tracking, and video conferencing. All of which aren't overall needed to run the system. Now if the Xbox One didn't come with a regualar controller. Then it be a different story. I see Kinect like the Wii Remote being forced to operate the Wii Menu. Nintendo shouldn't of done this. Especially with people launching Brawl and only used the Pro/GC controller.  Or when Nintendo only allowed the Weather and News channels to work with WC24 enabled, why? Same annoyance with the Kinect. I hate the Kinect for these reasons. But I don't hate the Kinect existing. I'd just like a choice to not use it. Like I would like a choice to expand my storage space on iPhone with SD Cards. But Apple fails in this area. So I don't own a iPhone.
