Why would everyone be better off playing them on PS4? I prefer Live to PSN and I prefer the Xbone controller. And who is to say MS steps up to the plate and pays for development of great games like Dead Rising 3 or Titanfall if not to improve their stable of games over the PS4?
And good for Sony that they can do the same thing [voice recognition]. Not sure what that has to do with Kinect though.

Live Gold vs PSN I guess is subjective preference, but Xbox layout controllers are easily available for PS4.
If you really find no value in a PS layout conroller, you can sell the included one to somebody else,
or buy a store display/refurb like this for just $329 without a controller and spend the difference on a Xbox layout PS4 controller.
MS did NOT pay for Titanfall development, it was already funded by EA, and MS progressively paid for launch and then total exclusivity.
Titanfall's lackluster engine was in fact chosen because it happened to be well optimized for PS3, originally a target platform.
Regardless, if those games sell then there is no reason they cannot be funded on a commercial 3rd party basis,
if they don't sell (or have prospects) then they aren't really adding much to the console in terms of popularity.
I mentioned voice recognition because it seems to be the one thing people usually bring up about Kinect that they actually like,
although of course it doesn't have any inherent tie to what Kinect's hardware does, that is the popular association,
that is the one concrete thing that does seem to be popular, what with the lack of actually compelling games strongly utilizing it.

Uh sorry but no, I'm not about to pass up a quality controller from MS, Sony, or Nintendo, and buy some shit 3rd party controller. At best maybe someone will eventually put out an adapter like they did last gen, but even that was spotty at best with performance and input delays.
MS did help Respawn with development of Titanfall. Check out The Final Hours of Titanfall. I know about the engine, it also goes into great detail there. Without MS stepping in and helping, Respawn would have had to give the IP to EA in exchange for more money. Basically if Titanfall were multiplatform right now, the trade off would be EA owns the IP. Which means it quickly turns into shit. Now, if MS were just publishing games for PS4, why would they have stepped in and done that? Or paid for DR3's development? That's 2 good next gen games we'd be missing. LOL @ not adding popularity. What do I give two shits about popularity? I want good games.
The voice recognition is great and so is the logging in via the camera. Both are things the hardware does.
