Sony you f***ing idiots just focus on the exclusives.TheGuardian03

Those don't really make them that much money though.

First the innovative eyetoy that started the ball rolling , then the evolutionary wand device providing superior control to the wiimote , and now the kinect killer is coming. Sony is on a roll , and the nice thing is they'll still probably announce God of War IV , Syphon Filter 4 , and more new IP's for gamers. Bow to the King of gaming. Forever may Sony reign.

KinectStation4 am confirmed.

You mean enhancements for PlayStation Eye, incoming?

I can see it now... PS EYE the epitome of Motion control gaming. Never before have we seen such innovation and trend setting from a single company.

So because they came up with 2 ideas that failed that means they are the kings of gaming? So what does that make the others that came up with ideas that didn't fail?

I have to wonder how these RnD and Patent depatments are ACTUALLY working with Sony now.

When Kaz took the helm as CEO, he said he encountered some great ideas that fell by the proverbial wayside because Sony department teams had ver little cross chatter.

Lame. My expectations are very low for next gen. It looks like it will be a continuation of the big 3 fighting over the casual pie

Hahahahah they had webcams that could do the stuff the eyetoy can in the late 90s. Then how come Kinect is selling better than the eyetoy ever did if its only a copy of it. :|

So.... TLSHBO?

So now the defense is "Sony was casual before everyone else so it's ok" ?tagyhag

Sony is determined to have gamers buy a million failed devices before they give up

cool for them, since people actually buy them

Sony copies everyone! :lol:

I thought all the cows said controller less and body motion games all suck. Now Sony is going to make them they are cool! :lol:

No!

Leave Sony alone! We did it first with the PS eye!

They have had they eye for awhile and they wont drop core like MS has. Heil68

Oh really, good luck making a FPS game that doesn't require a controller only your body!

Pew, pew, pew! :lol:

Playing GOW 4 or Heavy Rain 2 using body motion could be cool I guess. ;)

... Eyetoy?

I'm okay with the casual stuff, just as long as Mario stays around. As long as Mario stays around, I'm good.

[QUOTE="rilpas"][QUOTE="kuraimen"] Considering Sony tried Natal like tech way before MS came up with Natal, Sony is not the one being a copy cat here.Nonstop-Madness

[QUOTE="Nonstop-Madness"]

[QUOTE="rilpas"] considering that they only decided to try 3D cameras after kinect's commercial sucess, I'd say they arerilpas

You Cows are ridiculous. PS Eye is a WEB CAM and for some odd reason the Cows on these forums think that the PS Eye was the first web cam ever created.

Kinect is a Motion sensing device. That is why Kinect has an infra red Laser, an infra red camera and a normal web cam camera. Those 3 components work together to give you a 3D motion sensing device that also has voice recognition. This is not what PS Eye achieved and if that is what Sony was trying for then that is exactly why Sony is pretty much full of Fail these days.
