I don't think Nintendo or Sony will follow the movement. And besides, mind control is just around the corner!

I think Nintendo is putting billions into mind control. That little finger thing is step one. Next it'll probably go through the nose into the brain.

Sony on the other hand is probably already cloning Kinect technology for their next PS Eye device.

Sony is "cloning" a "clone" of eye toy? w8 what????

Yes, the Kinect is simple a webcam.

MS looked at the Eyetoy and said we gotta clone this webcam and that's how Kinect was born.

The Kinect is a camera used to play games. The Eye toy is also a camera used to play games. The tech in them are different, but the end user result is the same, which is that you move and whatever is on the screen reacts. It's like the Wii mote and Move, both have different tech in them, but the Move obviously copied it's method from the Wiimote. The same thing applies to the Eye Toy and the Kinect. Microsoft may not have directly looked at the Eye Toy when designing the Kinect, but it also doesn't mean that they aren't rehashing an old idea.

OT: No.
