Why the problems with MS DRM, if you have ever bought from Steam/Origin then its exactly the same situation.

Because this isn't the PC. It's a console. People have always had this mindset with physical media and consoles and you can look at the negative reception it's received to see what people think about it being taken away from them. The simplicity of the disk approach has always been one of the key elements of console gaming over PC. Now they can get it elsewhere and at a cheaper price point too.

THe always connected thing doesn't bother me at all as my 360 and PS3 are already always online.

Yeah but not everyone lives in that kind in environment. Another worry is if your internet is out at the precise moment you want to game or if their servers go down.

If the kinect wasn't required then am sure the console would have been about the same price as the PS4.

If Blu-ray wasn't part of the PS3 it would have been cheaper too but it wasn't and the PS3 struggled for years.
