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

Like I already told you, there are a lot of games not possible on 360 because of the DVD format of the disk. MGS IV is one of them.

~40GB PS3 games - A lot of it is content, a lot of the bigger 360 games use 2 disks which is about 20GB, Sony just has BR instead.

As for MS's vision of the XB1, again this is what their vision of the console is not mine. They can easily sell me one without Kinect since it doesn't affect any games yet, and won't be used for the bulk of most games.

Put it this way, having Kinect come with the XBO is the same type of add on as XBLG. I don't play much online, so why would I want to buy a bundle with XBLG? I don't play Kinect, maybe this is MS's vision of the console, but if you can already turn it off and unplug it....then why can't I just buy a console without it? MS's vision of XBO clearly includes people not using the Kinect, so all I'm saying is that they are forcing us to buy it?

Sony with the BR, it's not like the PS3 has 2 disk drives and you can choose not to use the BR drive.

Nope, its not an insult.

You keep telling me there are PS3 games not possible on the 360 because of DVD, but I keep saying I don't agree. My opinion differs from yours.

You seem to believe ~40GB PS3 games actually need that much space, I assure you that's not the case.

Bluray didn't do much for a bulk of PS3 games. In fact, it created an issue due to a slow disc drive.

Yes, the PS3 could have had two disc drives. That's a great idea.
