Nintendo has shaved features before (the loss of the GameCube controller plugins in the latter iterations of the Wii) and I like that the OP is thinking, but I don't really agree with any of the suggestions. If people have to buy stuff as accessories they will just whine about it.
I can't tell you how many people I have heard bitch about the 32 gigs of memory in the system. "But now I have to go buy an external hard drive too" if you buy a fair amount of digital games then yes, personally I think if you are going to buy a good deal of digital content on any of the current gen machines you're going to have to purchase additional memory. Nintendo makes it easy by letting you use just about any old external drive you want to and people still bitch about it. PS4 is more limited in which drives you can use to expand memory but still makes it easy. The only one I know of that required a proprietary (and overpriced IMHO) drive was Microsoft and that was just the last gen 360. If I'm not mistaken they have already enabled support or say they plan to enable support for external drives with the XboxO.
I guess I just feel that you can't hardly take things away without people using that as more excuses not to purchase the system regardless of wither or not they will use said features.
One last thing I live in the country and get my TV via antenna (or at least I will when I buy a digital antenna) and the TVii feature will be extremely useful at that point. The channel guide in particular. Although of all things you listed that could get the axe and likely be missed the least.
