You do realize most of the tech inside Kinect was developed by Microsoft?

Go read some history on the development of Kinect.

"the tech inside kinect" was wholly developed by an Israely company called PrimeTech. And, surprisingly, they did not sell out to Microsoft (the common mode of MS to acquire tech is  "buy everyone/everything and pretend to have invented it"), as PrimeTexh are still developing it further (with Asus, for example). I'd suggest you follow your own advice after making a total fool out of yourself...


Actually the company is called PRIMESENSE

@daroamer  - I totally agree with you!! I would not be surprised to see PrimeSense license their technology to Nintendo & Sony in the near future.  It would be smart for them to make more money!

Microsoft is dumb for not buying PrimeSense a long time ago.  Instead they waste their money on Skype, Danger, Kin, and Massive.
