You're right. Kinect is a huge improvement, and probably does have more potential. That being said, nothing from E3 points to this "potential" other than Dance Central, and even that isn't that amazing.

Just so you know, potential means it actually can do more. Hence, it does major things the Eyetoy can't.

For example, I don't see any driving games on Eyetoy that let you drive with your hands. The best I saw on Eyetoy was Antigrav but that was more like a blanancing act. Obviously that wouldn't work for most racers.

Kinect Adventures lets you move a model, Eyetoy generally just lets you stare at your self and touch things.

Eyepet is something that could have more potential on the Kinect because you would be able to actually grab and strangle the pet. Which is what we hope for in Kinectimals.

The only Eyetoy dancing I've seen involved you staring at yourself touching areas of the screen. For the record, most people don't like looking at themselves.

We haven't seen many Kinect games yet. But I'm more intrigued by the little Kinect software we've seen so far than all the Eyetoy games combined.

Ok I'll go down the list

1. From Dictionary.com Potential - capable of being or becoming: a potential danger to safety.

2. Are you talking about the game Joy Ride that can't control it's speed? Or atleast, thats what I've heard.

3. I don't know exactly what you mean by moving models. I'm pretty sure the EyeToy can let you move a model also.

4. EyePet does have more potential on Kinect because of Kinect's better tracking and depth, yes. But as you can see from this video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFbB1W9t0KY Kinectimals does not seem that far ahead in technology.

5. PS Eye probably couldn't do Dance Central in it's current form, but it's been said there might be a port of Dance Central using the Move.

6. The curiousity happens with almost all new technology. Only time will tell if Microsoft finds a worthwhile game to use it for (other than Dance Central).

1. Well the Kinect can do much more than the Eyetoy. But it has the potential to do a lot more than we've seen so far. And yes, that could danger us all.

2. I believe the speed is controlled by how far apart your hands are. Atleast that's what I've heard and read about racing games on the Kinect.

3. The models on Kinect track your exact movement. I've seen nothing like that on the Eyetoy. If it could, I think we would have seen it by now. Or perhaps it just can't do it nearly as well.

4. Kinectimals seems like a simple game so far. Perhaps its not the best example of the Kinect's capabilities. All I can really say is the Kinect can do everything we've seen on Eyepet. I doubt Kinectimals would be the same experience on the Eyetoy. If you watch this video, you'll see what I mean. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFIQ4NPf7ys

5. The Move only tracks your hands. It wouldn't be the same experience. And you would still have to hold those controllers. The great thing about the Kinect is you don't use any controllers.

6. Well party games have been all the rage on the Wii. The Kinect has the potential to breath new life in that genre and there is plenty of that coming.
