Started thinking about this after reading the new official price for the kinect 2.0. While some may think it would be better to compare it with the PS Camera, the prices are so different that i believe they are at a draw when it goes to cost-benefit (PS Camera is worst, but it is only $60)

On the other hand, when we compare it to the Vita we have 2 peripherals of similar price ($200 x $150) and very unique capabilities. I will list their uses, but it is possible that i forget something.

I will not add a poll in the first moment, because i don't think that would be a good indicator. Instead, i would like to see your opinions and arguments.
