I wrote this during the article that shows that the eyetoy can do voice commands like kinect does. 

 I'm sure I'll be told I'm reading too far into it or that its just plastic and silicone etc. But when you follow a brand for so long you do develop brand loyalty. Its why people like pepsi over coke, or a certain kind of phillie cheese steak or pizza. Same with automobiles. 

I'm sure that it's been pretty shocking to know that one of kinects biggest features could be done so easily on the ps4. The few advantages left for the X1 is gone. But if you're a Xbox guy and are questioning your pre order maybe a little soul searching is needed. 

What makes you love it so? And is change so scary? Chevy used to be the biggest thing in america but eventually people liked Toyota Corollas just as much. They just kept a open mind and tried it out. So a open mind wouldn't hurt here guys. And when MS finally gets their act together and realize that they exist for their customers they will come around and make a better system. 

Until that day I'm going to have to give the edge to Sony. It looks like they finally climbed out of the hole of pride and ego that Ken Kutagari dug for them during the buildup to the ps3. A lesson hard learned, and led to a tight race that never had to happen if they remembered a lesson that all manufacturers sometimes need to be reminded of. Respect your customers because without their business you have nothing.
