another day.... another thread.... another group of short sighted gamers unwilling to accept that theres an entirely new demographic of gamers that every company wants a piece of..... still theres an abundance of fantastic core games to focus on so whats the problem... much ado about nothing.

Pretty much this^ Companies appeal to different types of gamers to satisfy them all. As soon as a company makes anything causal like MS did with kinect people always take it to the extreme and assume casual is now the only focus not realizing the market is big enough for all types of games.

what i don't get is why so many people are content to stand in the way of progress.

I hear ya, I dont like motion controls right now, I prefer a controller, but if its done right I am sure some day it could be very popular and even become the norm. Theses things take times to evolve so judging them in their first iterations is stupid. I dont stand in the way of technology, its going to change over time if I like it or not so its better to just come to terms with it instead of moaning and crying about it on the internet.

Not all "progress" is good. Now companies make electronics to break just to sell more. That's not good progress. Spending millions in gimmicks with crappy games is not good progress either.

What's progress and how can you identify it? If you don't want to "stand in the way of progress" without properly identifying which changes will eventually become a progress and which don't then you can't complain about anything even if companies start making products that break in one year to sell you another one.

moving forward towards a benefit. more easily breakable hardware doesn't fit.

Yeah, because those are all highly anticipated AAA-quality games that everyone on PS3 cares about. :roll: There's a reason Black Ops 2 is the most wanted game by PS3 owners.

Lol the EyeToy worked better than Kinect in their own game. http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/sonic-free-riders http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-2/eyetoy-antigrav Same type of game and the EyeToy was much better. Also ran better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3JHkrc6BUI

Surprise, surprise, Sony is copying the competition. Looks like I can put the money I would have spent on a PS4 towards an upgrade for my PC.

copying or improving the pseye which came out way before kinect
