I honestly think the peripheral argument is a red herring. The inherent problem lies that the kinect and the gamepad raise the price of the console to where it becomes less competitive, for a marginal benefit in "innovation" when they aren't really changing the industry at all.

Sony's Backwards compatibility was drove up the price of the PS3 and it was arguably more integral to the console as it increased the library substantially.

Yeah i agree this is what im saying, im not having an argument about them being peripherals they just are.

But Microsoft is saying "KINECT IS Xbox One".  They made it so there's no discussion on whether it's packaged with the One or not.  They've rebuffed on EVERYTHING but that.  They've made their decision, in my opinion.  They left it up to the consumer, after all the backlash 6+ months before it was launched.  And, in essence, because of them STILL bundling the KINECT at the end of the day, they said "Deal With It".  Well, people are, in their own way...
