The problem, I think, is that there is no win/win scenario here. Sony's route to make their camara/sensor optional and secondary has good and bad aspects. Microsoft's decision to make Kinect mandatory has both good and bad aspects.
Personally, I don't care anything about having a camera on my gaming console. I'd rather have the extra money it would cost so I can invest it into a game. I doubt I'll ever buy the thing unless it's cheap and they come out with something amazing. I just want to play games. All the other stuff is just pure, unimportant fluff. I don't need to speak to it, I don't need to gesture at it, and I certainly don't need it to post my picture on some kind of social network.
