Yeah the backlash to Kinect really changed things. I kinda wish the cam stayed as a forced add on like Kinect 2, but market certainly were happy they dropped it.

I know indies will be using it a lot, and probably by the end of the year multiplat games will have their kinect features ported over.

Was it though?

Sony Sacrificed the PlayStation 4 Camera to Beat Microsoft on Price

http://ie.ign.com/articles/2013/06/26/sony-sacrificed-the-playstation-4-camera-to-beat-microsoft-on-price

The decision to double the GDDR5 RAM from 4GB to 8GB had more to do with dropping the camera as a pack in item at their same target price.

Even if they had included the camera, an item that retails for $60 as a separate SKU, it wouldn't have made the MSRP of the PS4 $499. More like $450 at most.
