I'm not that concerned about Kinect watching me, but it is a very capable camera for that kind of thing. They shouldn't make the camera have to be connected/on. It makes me feel like there is no controller navigation for their OS.

What I want from the new PS Eye is for it to be optional, used for video chatting, and enhancing the PS Move experience. The biggest problem with the move was the PS Eye. The camera wasn't wide enough or high enough resolution. PS Move should work much better with this new Eye.

i think they did it for selfish reasons.  developers know for sure that every xboner user is familiar with kinect.  if it wasnt "mandatory"  people could just throw it in the corner and the user base would be back in the bottom percentile.  the biggest issue is what happens if it breaks.  one thing microsoft did right with kinect one is get rid of the motor.

See I don't believe that. I think the vast majority of users will have Kinect set up probably, and the PS Eye for that matter. The user base for these devices will be at an all time high and make games for them more viable. I think Kinect is mandatory because they are trying to use it for their OS instead of the controller, that would be terrible in my opinion.
