Only thing I disagree with is the hardware comparison where he says "Move advances current technology, Kinect invents new technology"

Umm...Kinect is just an advancement of EyeToy/PS Eye. Only thing Kinect has over PS Eye is that it senses depth, but with Move, PS Eye can determine depth. In that sense, the Move setup is a combination of Kinect and Wii, getting the best of both worlds (minus like..."Playstation, stop movie)

So the Move can detect where your legs are?

In this specific trailer, they don't show leg tracking, but they do have the character on screen kicking which should equate to leg tracking as well. I think they did show leg tracking in another trailer, though. It's not depth, but it still sort of works!

Sort of works.  Encouraging!

Look my point is that anyone who says that the PS Eye and Kinect do the same thing is just ignorant of the how the technologies really work.  Aside from the fact they both camera type systems they way they work is not even remotely the same.   No one was going gaga over the Eyetoy for a very good reason, the technology was crude and imprecise.  While you can have some similar EXPERIENCES the way those experiences is achieved is very different.

Put it this way, Kinect can do everything the Eyetoy could do however the opposite is not true.
