Because "The Move" is almost an exact replica of the Wiimote. And the only similarities between Natal and the eyetoy are purely on the outside.

Move is a rounded "wand" shape. Wii Remote is a block-like "Remote" shape. Move has a big coloured ball on the end. Wii Remote doesn't. Move needs a camera to work. Wii Remote doesn't. Move has a wireless Nunchuck. Wii Remote doesn't.

All I see is:  Move has a remote, Wii has a remote.  Move has a nunchuck, Wii has a nunchuck.  Move uses a camera, Wii uses a camera (in the Wiimote itself).

Eyetoy is a camera. Natal is a camera. Dream Eye came before Eyetoy, though so...

EyeToy is a camera.  MS Vision Cam is a camera.  Both only capture color changes in 2D space.  Natal is a Camera + Infrared pulse sensor for standard color change and 3D motion capture and microphone for voice input.  Also, Natal has the powerhouse software behind it that does all the complex calculations that neither EyeToy nor Vision Cam had.

OT:
I have said this myself. I've seen a few people from the MS fanbase (most of them have been quiet about the whole thing though) try trolling on the PS Move for being a "Wii clone". Yet i will see those very same people defend Natal when it's time in the spotlight comes. Amusing really.

Wii mote and Move do almost entirely the same things.  Both are 1:1 (with WM+), both have a very similar sports game package, the only thing different that Sony's can do is basically the video overlay stuff.

EyeToy and MS Vision Cam can do the same things.  But neither can capture 48 points on a persons body and track the movemonts of those points in 3D space, even in the dark.

And the only thing amusing is how certain people of the Sony fanbase deny the incredible similarities of Move and Wiimote, but try to generalize Natal and EyeToy to be the same when there are far more differences in both capabilities and hardware.
