I didnt take Sonys comments at face value. I stated that I was thinking about it and Sony made a lot of sense when they were doing their R & D. I am not the most fond person of Sony nor Microsofts business practices; however, Sony was correct about the control of a character in a 3D space. It would remain fundamental until an answer was found to break out of the box of motion so you can move as if you had a controller in your hand. The FAAST software solves this problem and I already stated it.

Yet I would trust Microsofts word as they make more in a quarter then sony does yearly I am pretty sure. You have to make pretty smart choices to do that. Sony was not right about 3D space actually. 3D is only saying this after Kinect started doing really well.
As some people have said, Sony seems to be just pissed that Kinect is doing well. Sony went for the safe option (the more accurate wii controls) Microsoft took a leap, Microsoft is gaining the early points for this, we will se who will be ahead in the long run.

Nah, I dont think Sony is pissed that Microsoft is doing well. The problem with Sony is they couldn't loosen their grip from the core. Microsoft obviously can. Sony was thinking aboout how gamers like me and you would get something out of their peripheral as well as non-gamers and other specific demographics. It was expected the Microsoft would reach a broader audience. Sony is too tech focused as it were where Microsoft seems to be looking for the quick fix.

@ bolded - Its rather about strategy than being too tech savy..MS saw kinect as an opportunity whilst Sony worried more about the risks associated with a kinect based hardware.
