| Porcupine_I said: lets just pretend for one second that Sony had not abandoned Kinect technology let us imagine Sony came up with that exact same product that Microsoft has released now, with exact the same launch games and tech behind it. let us further pretend Microsoft had chosen to go the other way and develop a Motion controller with buttons and tracking in 3D Space. is there anyone supporting Kinect right now who could honestly say that they would buy a PS3 in that case, because Sony has the better motion controls? Or would it rather be that the ridicule would never end for trying to sell the Eyetoy again? i don't expect an answer, just ask yourself people, you know the truth. |
I can't speak for anyone else but if Sony released kinect it would have been received the exact same as pseye and ignored by most, the only reason kinect seems to be a success is MSes massive marketing and hype efforts, and there are a few other things that people often forget about, move uses the pseye, so Sony is supporting their existing hardware and the fans who bought it (I feel that almost anyone who had a pseye is going to get get a wand) and the fact that Sony patched games that were already out and is making a ton of them controllable with either seems like something MS just wouldn't do, so if they did switch things would be looking alot different and I honestly don't know if I would be complementing MS or not but I know I wouldn't be complementing Sony if they came out with kinect
