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

Whoever thinks a company is forcing anything needs their brain tested. Its their product. Not ours. Buy something else if you dont want it. Period. I dont want PS4, so I bought Xbox. See how easy that is?

- In the context of this thread, force means obligating the user of a certain product to acquire, pay for, and use a non-essential additional facet of said product. Hence your first sentance has no value in the context of this discussion.

- You see Selnor, there's a very clear difference between you and I. If the Xbox One and PS4 were magically interchanged so that across the entire range of factors such as specs, hardware devices and policies, reveal history, games lineup and first party studios and company history were somehow exchanged, then I'd be getting an XBox One over a PS4. No question.

This is called parity in a reality-space. I.e. there's a fundamental symmetry on interchange. You on the other hand are asymmetric, because even if the thought experiment above were to take place, then you're statement, "I dont want PS4, so I bought Xbox" would still be what you adhere to. And it is because of this fundamental difference of realities we occupy that I simply do not know what purpose any communication with you might hold for me. In this case it is a mere pass-time, but that is just cause I'm avoiding doing my work at the moment.
