Take into account that that's all being done on the Eye Toy and on the PS2, I'm sure the PS Eye and PS3 can do much better. It's obvious that the Kinect is a better camera, the guy you replied to never said it wasn't. His just saying that those types of games aren't exactly great and can probably be done on other hardware because it doesn't actually take advantage of the hardware it's currently using.

It also doesn't help that a few of the games that you mentioned have had really bad previews.

Oh boy... this discussion is happening again.

The Kinect actually makes a skeleton of the body and can transfer the exact movement to a 3D model.

These Eyetoy games bascially just sense where motion is happening.

I'm not arguing which one is better, I'm just saying that the games are pretty much the same. Saying the Move is vastly different to the Wii mote and it's games is wrong, the same thing applies to the Eyetoy and Kinect.

How are they the same?  I guess thats what I'm missing.  Because they use body motion to affect things on screen?  In that sense every game played with a controller is the same.  Is is the genre that is similar?  Because he was attacking things with his body then any game that uses a body is the same and should be downplayed constantly?

Why do people go gaga over Uncharted 2?  It's basically just Tomb Raider.

Why even buy a PS3 at all?  The games are basically the same as the PS2, right?   Press buttons on controller, waggle your thumb and stuff happens on the screen.  Waste of $300 bucks to do that on a PS3.  Just like that DVD rip off Blu-ray.  Worthless.

None of the games you showed me are the same experience as I had playing Kinect.  I wasn't flinging my arms around hitting points on a screen, I was controlling my entire character and the in game camera with what I was doing and which way I was facing.
