Basically, it sounds like Sony wasn't willing to pay to solve the software challenges.  They really can't compete with the amount resources that MS can afford to throw at the software research side to support Kinect.  Plus, Kinect fits with MS' whole natural user interface play.   So just like Sony got extra benefit from using bluray, MS will get extra benefit from kinect.

If you read the article it seems pretty clear that 3D cameras don't really have any extra benefit for gaming, other then the initial wow factor anyways, I'd go so far to say that MS fell for the wow factor themselves and realized too late (if at all) that it isn't going to work like they thought, I think MS thought about marketing while pursuing kinect and kinda forgot about the fact the technology has to work

You are making my point for me.  Sony can't or won't make it work.  MS can through software.  Also, the article was mistaken about the resolution of the camera.  It is not 320x240, it is 640x480 as can be seen from the PC hacks.  Kinect currently only uses lower resolution, but there is no reason it can use the higher resolution.

If it could why aren't they and I'm pretty sure a tech guy would know what tech is in kinect, and NO MS CAN'T make it work, they haven't and they won't they are just making people like you think they can to get sales before you people finally see the obvious truth, MS is hiding the faults of the hardware with software but they can't do that for every game, every game is on rails or you don't move in a 3D plane all you are going to get is more of the same crap that was on launch 

yes their are but i dont know their names. i dont care about the kinect titles i dont own kinect and i dont have a 360, weather they are casual or not is not the buisness of this thread.



Being in 3rd place never felt so good
