Anybody against it is more or less mad that Kinect 2.0 failed and they paid 100$ extra for something that no longer has any use

Kinect is still going to be available and likely supported for the life of the X1. Its not gonna disappear like PS Move. It a very unique device and there will still be demand.

It should be optional, not forced. MS made the right move.

The bolded part is two sided, I would not bet that the PS4 camera will disapear, especially since I think Sony intend to use it along their VR project Morpheus.

As for move, it mostly lives on in the DS4 controller, simply under a different shape, will again be used in conjunction with project Morpheus.

We have not seen any equivalent on MSes side, only empty promises of a "killer app" that would validate the inclusion of Kinect (along side the HDMI in) I think Kinect Sports Rivals was supposed to be "it", so there is no telling what MS will do with Kinect in the future, there is no apparent project beyond the original "vision", if nobody buys it, there is no telling what will happen of Kinect on the xb1, no matter how interesting the technology is, it's only good for certain type of use (dance, fitness and young kids games) if the people who should be interested in the device don't buy into it, for whatever reason, they will discontinue it... just like Sony will eventually do with any failed product, MS can just afford to do it more and longer.
