If Kinect had been optional right from the original design concept of Xbox One would Xbox One have been made more powerful?

No, Sony are way better at designing hardware than Microsoft, even though the PS4 is more powerful it costs less to make (going by that breakdown we saw a while ago), so if the X1 was more powerful it would have to be sold at a loss or still be $500 anyway.

Sony's hardware engineers are just better.
