It's true that Microsoft released a "copy" of eyetoy but they gave it voice control, gestures and facial recognition along with a slew of other features eyetoy never had. Sony was very quick to recognize Kinect as a good idea by adopting all new features in their next gen console. I mean they had the eyetoy for 5 years and sat on their ass doing nothing with it. Same way they paid tribute to the WiiMote with PS Move, and no one cared. This "me too" approach isn't going to work out for Sony in the long run. They may capitalize on initial sales of the craze but their console strategy will be a mess. |
Natal(Kinect) was brought to Sony before M$ got ahold of it but Sony turned it down because they already had a camera(PS Eye) and all that they needed to do was upgrade the next gen PS Eye to the power of natal when they would revamp everything
and that M$ vision camera was the real Eye Toy competitor before the Kinect was turned down by Sony and was brought to M$
