Is X1 forcing Kinect on us any different than PS3 forcing Bluray on us?

I don't see how you can say the success of the 360 means that people hated bluray. Sony sold more of a console with bluray against a console with DVD, and it cost $200 more.

 

PS3 sold more, but it didn't crush the competition like it had in past generations.

Without the significant price difference, PS3 would have crushed 360.

I don't see how it follows that people hate bluray. The PS3 has been twice the price of the PS2 for the life of the console. Do people hate something about Ferraris because they sell less than Fords? They just have a different target market. The fact that more people bought a console with bluray rather than a cheaper one with DVD (but is similar in most other ways) seems to show that people like bluray.
