I agree  that Dance Central could be done on PS3 since the game is looking how well you copy the movement seen on the screen. I would think the camera can easily detect "not-A" when comparing to "A" even if only in 2D. Since the game is not copying the player movement but visa versa you don't have a problem with lag either.

 P.S PSEye has already shown it can be used for head tracking even though, unlike TrackIR, it doesn't use IR lights. So it seems there is more than one way to track even in 3D.

From what I've gathered (judging at least by the trailer for Kung Fu Live), the PS Eye scans your body and creates rectangular frames around your head and limbs.  This is, of course, while you are standing still so the camera knows where you're "resting" position is.  Then as you move the rectagular frames move as well, which is where the data comes from.  Theoretically, if you move closer or farther to and from the PS Eye, it should be able to increase and decrease the size of the rectangles, tracking you in 3-D space.

It's very similar to the way the Move works, only with one small globe representing the data for your arms and body's general position.  I would imagine this would be a much easier, as well as quicker, way of tracking you, as opposed to full body tracking.

Yeah what alot of people don't realize that is that the balls aren't only for main tracking but also help with body tracking, because it can tell the ps eye exactly how far you are away and stuff, I doubt the non-move limb body tracking will be as accurate as kinect when moving in 3 dimentions but for near prefect accurate with the globe is an incredibly small price to pay, I can't see kinect working well for any games, I mean maybe a RTS and solitaire and things that are good for touch screen but who would buy kinect for that crap, kinect seems to be the absolute worst choice for a controller yet, move needs better games yes, but the hardware works and good games can be made for it (took a while for good games to be made with the wii too) and it doesn't copy much from the wii other then the basic shape and size, and the tumble(which is in the ps3 standard controller ffs), and I mean what the hell else are the supposed to use for a size and shape, and they even improved on the shape (circular instead of rectangular)
