Eye Pet is creeping up on us?

I doubt il be getting either unless there is a BIG game i want that will NEED either Natal/Wand.

I like my controllers the way they are

Unless Natal /Wand get some decent (at least AA) action/shooter/RPG/blood and guts titles then these peripherals are not going to especially appeal to the current install base for either PS3 or 360, at least not to the point where the current install base feels like they need to get into the new control system.

Those who have PS3 and who own Eyepet are good potential Wand buyers because of the type of game Eyepet is and the demographic it appeals to. The sales of Eyepet is is good indicator of the marketability of the Wand to the current install base, because it is an indicator of the size of the demographic who will be attracted to some of the games that will come with the Wand. If Eyepet gets decent sales with long, steady legs this is a good sign for Wand (Gem?) with the current install base. If Eyepet fades away to nothingness in the new year then Sony may find problems with its planned game lineup for Wand's launch. It'll be an interesting one to watch.

We'll be cracking out our Eyepet this week for my son's birthday. I'll let you know what I think, and more importantly what he thinks (he's really grooving on Fat Princess at the moment, loves running around and freeziing the enemy, so it'll be quite a change of pace / genre).
