Attraction to now same-price-point Xbone:
Exclusive games
Xbox brand loyalty (athough the stupid name acrobatics defeat that to some extent, rather than just being Xbox 3)
In terms of the attraction of Kinectless SKUs,
I *don't* see "TV features" being a big attraction as long as the TV interface is tied to Kinect,
Since voice control doesn't really depend on a camera unit, they could allow ANY microphone to drive voice-control features.
(although that reduces even further the value proposition to buy a Kinect accessory, so they may well not do so)

So far unstated is that without Kinect/voice control, then the OS interface sinks or swims based on the manual controller, so they probaby want to improve that functionality as well. (enabling voice control with any mic may be an easier option there)
