The negative press will spread like a wildfire over time putting Microsoft in a defensive posture. So to even start a sale on the Xbox one, they first have to explain to the customer the complex punitive rules imposed on the product before you plug it in.
People do not like complicated things, especially something that should be as simple as sticking a disk in and pressing play.
The Kinect will fail and get little use since software publishers will work on porting games on both consoles, and will not spend money and time on adding kinect as a feature to the game. In addition people will not want some camera staring into the livingroom 24/7 like some kind of Casino security camera in their home.
The 24 hour cloud police check to make sure you are not committing a criminal offense against Microsoft will not be a positive for the end user, and all it takes is a DDOS attack or an outage to brick thousands of consoles. And (it is only a matter of time) when this happens, the PR backlash will be salt to the gaping wound.
Members of the Armed forces are banned from Microsoft Xbox one products due to cloud police requirements, they will just use PS4s and this is another nail to the Microsoft coffin, as word spreads that only Sony lets soldiers play video games.
100 dollars cheaper and more advanced hardware, is just icing on the cake.
This image below spells it out.
Prediction, epic failure and bad press for Microsoft and they will lose hard this generation.
