I think the main problem with Kinect is not just that the xbone is expensive but that they had to design the console around it. The higher latency GDDR5 wouldn´t be as good for Kinect thats why they went for DDR3 in order to reduce latency for Kinect. But DDR3 only would have limited graphics massively this is why they also went for 32 MB Esram which in turn was only possible because they sacrificed tons and tons of transistors for that Esram. Which means less streaming cores and worse graphics. But still a huge chip which makes the box so big despite the power difference between PS4 and Xbox one the One has actually a equally large Chip or even bigger AFAIR. The one could be cheaper way cheaper without kinect and stronger kinda like the PS4. Or keep the price at 499 and we could have had a true beast.
But it was MS decision its their product they can do what they want but whining about people that critizice the Kinect because its not inline with their needs helps no one and infact its their opinion so they are allowed to be upset about it.
