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

Blu Ray wasn't forced on anyone. Kinect was because its not essential to the system.

Bluray wasn't essential though.

This seems to be getting ignored. ps3 was virtually the same system as the 360 and the 360and a dvd drive. so I really don't see how a blue ray drive was essential.
