Sony will be marketing the PS eye like its a natal device before natal even comes along. M$really should watch out for that more then anything and sony should do it to steal natals thunder

WIth regard to $ony's PS Eye stealing Natal's thunder, I haven't seen anything approaching compelling from the PS Eye Camp, and they are running out of time to affect a holiday 2010 launch, let alone something which could counteract the positive press on Natal thus far.

Keeping it real: PS Eye's been around for a long time already and $ony haven't been able to make it work well enough that PS2/3 owners (or, more importantly, developers) look at it as anything other than a curiosity.

That monkey pet thing they've got looks like the only real attempt to leverage it at all, lately.

In order for $ony to use the PS Eye to steal Microsoft's Thunder, they'd have to decide to actually *do something*, and that that something can't suck.  Monket Pet aside, I don't see anything of the sort on the horizon... personally.

$ony has the advantage - if they release Monkey Pet and it is fantastic, and they have four or five other compelling titles, it could make a case to consumers that Natal isn't that big of a deal.  If Monkey Pet faceplants, or if it's the only compelling thing shipping next year, then they have a much more tenuous opportunity to make a case that the Eye is relevant, let alone a competitor to Natal.

 

They are re-releasing RE5 using the PS Eye. That's a start to show off the technology.
