I dont understand how people think that microsoft would integrate kinect into the actual system. That causes way too many problems. Kinect has to be centered on the tv and either right below or above it. The xbox one is way too big to have to be set up like that. It wouldnt work for a ton of peoples entertainment centers. It is not an option that would or should ever be seriously considered...

I don't have the technical know-how so maybe you're right, it may never happen. But assuming that Sony was able to integrate the power inside the box and still make it smaller than XB1, running at the same temperature, so why not? Maybe not now, but it is a certainty probability in the near future, once the processing nodes come down (and AMD is significantly behind Intel right now).
