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

I'll be blunt, I can't point to a single game that was better thanks to Bluray. The best things Bluray had to offer on PS3 is higher quality video and no disc swaps.

It appears to me the only thing that motivated Sony to push Bluray was royalties and it made the PS3 signficantly more expensive. Had PS3 not included Bluray, it might have launched for $399.

Not everyone wants Kinect, but not everyone wanted Bluray either. So I ask again! Is forcing Kinect on people any different than Sony forcing Bluray on us for PS3?!

Okay, keep your standard DVD's and play 8th gen games on 400 discs. having to swap constantly.

The reality is that more capacity allows for higher fidelity in games, and also allows devs to create the bigger open world games which everyone is so fond of.

Kinect and Blu-ray are not on the same page, definitely not. Blu-ray is a better standard of optical media, kinect is a new way of interaction.
