 So whatever these unknown devices are, they were not successful enough to be considered valid in saying they brought it to the masses. Otherwise, why have we not heard of them, where is the noise they generated? It doesn't exist, because they did not make a reasonable amount of impact to consider them valid pioneers or torchbearers, from the popularity standpoint.

 

@italics. Huh? Well first off i've already said the wii was the most successful but beyond that you haven't heard of webcams? or more specifically gaming on webcams?

Sure console gamers like the ones on this site aren't going to lend much attention to webcam gaming but, regardless, it's there, it's a form of motion gaming and is to a certain extent popular.

You can't be serious... Who considers that at all? I've done a project in College using a webcam and some collision detection, but what games used it? On what channel, website even? Do you have any substance or proof? I'll be happy with a target audience of 5Mil+. That's being nice.

um webcam gaming is available via several websites for example for free i wouldn't have stats on user base but seeing as how anyone with a webcam can access and play them i wouldn't doubt that a fairly large amount of people try them out

here are a few sites i found with a simple google search

http://webcamgames.sky.com/

http://www.lorenzgames.com/search/Webcam

http://www.fupa.com/games/0/webcam.html

its up to you to count it or not i don't care but at the end of the day its a form of motion gaming available long before the wii accessible to anyone with a webcam and computer
