Hello. Who is saying that? A Sony employed engineer. You wouldn't expect him to say something GOOD about the direct competitor in motion gaming, would you? 

They weren't talking about their competitor they're talking about why they didn't pursue 3D cameras, they would of said the same things before kinect was annouced, hell if you dig up their research and reports on 3D cameras that they gave to Sony they probably did, and if it wasn't for those limitations then why didn't Sony pursue 3D cameras?

Because they didn't see it as a viable market? Whereas MS did and took the opportunity to create a periphial that will is likely boosting the sales of 360 and is likely to squeeze another year out of it. Again, I don't get how you say that sales have no relevance to the capabilities of Kinect and then go off talking about why Sony did what it did.

Final like is, capabilities are capabilities. Do you have Kinect? No "Around a friends house" or "I was at gamestop once.. browsing some games and played Kinect for 5 minutes" experiences. Just because Sony didn't pursue it doesn't mean that this tech is not compatible, if you google some of the hacks on Youtube you'll see how much of the potential is just waiting to be unlocked, again, if you expected one of Move engineers to give a truthful unbiased view on Kinect, you were mad. Ofcourse they would say something along the lines of "We tried it, but man it was rubbish!". It's called downplaying the competition, I hear that's quite common.

Read the full article before commenting again here I'll link it http://www.videogamer.com/news/sony_on_why_ps_move_has_greater_appeal_than_kinect.html

"We sit down with SCE Move developer Anton Mikhailov To talk about the status of PlayStation's motion-controller platform since its launch and why it's not just Kinect with a controller."

"if you expected one of Move engineers to give a truthful unbiased view on Kinect, you were mad"

^I've been saying that for a page or two now.

 I read the initial article and the follow up article on Destructoid, I see no reason heading into the full interview and spending my time reading that when someone already took that time and had done the sum up.

But then again, I guess if a Sony representative were to tell you that they have the technology/funding/ability to launch a pig into space, you'd probably believe them.

So you are assuming he's biased and everything he says is a lie without even knowing the context he said it in, wow just wow
