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. 

If it makes the game play its essential. You just dont value Blu Ray. Theres nothing concrete about subjectivity. DVD is just as essential as Blu Ray. Blu Ray is the essential format today. People need to deal with it.

It needed a disk drive yes. but it didn't need the most expensive disc drive on the market to achieve what it has. just like there are more powerfull options that could have been opted into the current gen builds. It was not worth the cost of the edition. 

When Sony brought DVD's to gaming it was the most expensive disc drive on the market. Same difference. For the last two gens the format Sony had debuted have become the primary formats. Regardless of what you think or feel Blu Ray is selling like hotcakes in non-gaming homes across the world. Again even Nintendo and Microsoft have realized the value in its potential.
