re: PS4 Eye will support facial recognition and voice commands

The Wii is purely popular because it doesn't require you to know a ton of buttons.

The Wii was popular with little kids and old people as an arcade system. No one owned a Wii for Call of Duty, Battlefield, etc. The biggest games in the industry, their sales for the Wii were next to zero. Why? Because no one wants to play using motion controls on those games. That is why it has no future, on console or PC.

These systems are marketed to the mass public, not gamers. Casual players don't want to have to read a manual and have a whole thing explained to them before the game starts.

Correct, which is why $100 cheaper has the PS4 ahead 2:1 in preorder sales alone. People and mass consumers don't give a shite about a Kinect for voice commands and some motion control, they'd rather save the $100 and if they want that down the road then have that option and could get one used at a Gamestop or eBay for $30ish.
