| S.T.A.G.E. said: In Nintendos defense they create new ways to play. Microsoft never created Kinect, Sony turned it down and Microsoft scooped it up from under them. Just shows you that Sony is more focused on what a peripheral can do rather than having nothing but casuals using it for one or two games. |
In Microsofts defense... They did allot of software engineering which *is* the hard part, especially to make all the Kinect processing incredibly efficient on such a low-powered processor.
Essentially it's just a bunch of sensors/cameras with a micrphone, making them all talk to each other and recognise things in real time with as little amount of latency and processing/memory usage overhead as possible.
Sony isn't as skilled as Microsoft in software engineering, it's Microsoft's bread and butter afterall being primarily a software development company.
Sony's forte' has always been in the hardware, hence why it's Operating System consumes more resources than Microsofts on the Xbox.
Sony though basically just copied and improved on the Wii's style of motion control but wen't about it's implementation a little differently.
Although it's still great it's still not nearly as ground breaking as the Wii or the Kinect on release, most people view it as a Wii clone.
