Just take a quick read through NeoGaf or other gamer forums to see what many gamers think of the Xbone.
To your other point, Im not sure Kinect was a huge success for Microsoft and it was nowhere near the success that the wii was for motion gaming...so why jam it down gamer's throats? Xbone could at least had to pricing models to include it or not.

Remember IGN, Gamespot are still fanboys that get paid to play games so I don't buy that they influence anyone but the hardcore. I still remember how the Xbox 360 had a ho hum E3 prior to launch with many comments that the graphics weren't that much better and disappointing and how much people got swept away by Sony the following E3 with all their CG base demos, Blu-ray, 1080p HDMI, "Next gen doesn't start until we say it starts", and in the end none of that mattered. I don't know exactly how right Microsoft is about what they are doing but they are right in that it's a marathon not a sprint.
As for Kinect like I said before I wish myself that Microsoft gave you the option of not buying it but I do understand why they are including it with every console as developers don't like putting too much focus on optional hardware. If developers can get really creative with Kinect on Xbox One will have a decided edge over PS4 and lets face it the motion sensing technology is just at the tip of its potential.
