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

Without Bluray you couldn't play any PS3 games. It was central to doing what the device was designed to do: Play games.

Everyone knows (or should) about pushing Bluray to win the format war with HD DVD. 

Can I play games without Kinect? Yes. It is not central to the device, it is an add-on much like the Wii U tablet.

Fascinating how your brain works.

How do you explain multiplats on Xbox 360 and PS3 similar on every aspect?

PS3 - 720p native resolution
360 - Sub 720p resolution, which was then upscaled

Final Fantasy, plus other games had major cuts. FFXIII was a 3 disk 360 game, FFXIII-2 was developed to fit on 1 360 disk. Imagine what we lost because of that.

Plus there is no downfall to BR, except price. However Kinect........I still don't feel comfortable with a camera always watching me, and a voice always listening (my laptop down't have a camera).
