I wonder how strong the patents are on Kinect? How similar can motion control systems be to Kinect and still be legal? I think that in the next generation of consoles that Sony and Nintendo will need more than just Wii like waggle to compete with MS's controller free motion scheme. But how will Sony and Nintendo be able to do that?
Theoretically, could Nintendo and Sony just release complete Kinect rip off controllers without it being illegal?
Regardless, the packed in motion control arrangements will be the most interesting aspects of the next generation of consoles (PS4, Xbox 720, next Wii).
