Hmmm. Yes... (Am I falling for a trick question? Cause I don't like trick questions.)

The Kinect is a far more advanced piece of technology than the EyeToy ever was.

Yes...Kinect's applications in gaming, as of right now, amount to flapping your arms around something you did with the PS Eye only it was much less responsive

The best game for it is a dancing game of course...and even good games for it are on rails

Microsoft touted the sales numbers so well that they got massive support from 3rd parties trying to get money off it but if you look at how each major Kinect game release has sold you'll see that the numbers are vastly lower than what they were November of last year.

It's a funny argument. If the eye could do what the Kinect can do it would have done it already. It's been out for a longer period of time.

Kinect is basically the same as a PSeye in the sense that both of them are an equal waste of my time and money.

However, if I was forced to choose, I would get a Kinect, mainly so i could use hand gestures to go through menus.

technically they arent exactly the same but I think they are both equally pointless. gaming without a physical controller is just a horrible idea.

This. Kinect hasn't done much more than what the PS Eye did. It has just done some of the things it did better. Although the tech is definitely different I don't think it is still of much use for games

I still believe this to be true. :| Advanced technology and all. It's still a camera that does mini game compilations and nothing much else. It's sad to think that the next Xbox will be heavily Kinect focused.

Ultimately the same thing. I don't really see what has been done so far that hasn't been done here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-yR5ozxw4E Or could be done with a bit more development. The capabilities seem about the same for all practical gaming purposes. Just MS put a lot more money into the software and marketing.

No, its much worse and the eye never shifted Sony's direction like Kinect has.

gamer-adam1

Is basically a wb cam with depth perseption which is what allows it to see you in 3D,the tech doesn't even work right and has been shown countless of times,is a gimmic that MS spend close to a billion promoting,and making people think is something new and revolutionary.

Indeed, also does not matter what people say, it is not like Kinect tech is a mystery, so we all know it is far more advanced than Move, Wii and Eyetoy
