"How HORRIBLE! They're just shoving the Eye down our throats by including it with every PS4! Controlling stuff with gestures and voice is soooooo stupid! Imagine how many gigs of RAM they could have added if they didn't include the Eye!"

This is the reaction from Sony fans, right? I mean, seeing how much vitriol has been thrown at the new Kinect, Sony fans must be devastated by this news. RIGHT?

No?

Hmm...what does that say then about all the hatred towards Kinect 2.0? If navigating the PS4 UI with the Eye sounds cool, then you can't really fault Microsoft for wanting to do the same thing with their own camera technology.

You know this doesn't say it will be bundled with all consoles, right?

Gran Turismo 5 was bundled, but that doesn't mean you couldn't buy a PS3 without it...

Until Sony say otherwise, I will firmly believe that they will give you a choice.

If its official, I would be most interested in the Sony community reaction. Its not 100%, but some posters here have allready rationalized it and Sony is yet again the good guy for doing exactly what MS is doing.

Apples, oranges.

Ps4 Eye won't be required to be always on, there is extremely little chance it will be an integral part of the OS.
Cost wise, Ps eye +  Move controller was already a lot cheaper then Kinect. Kinect 2.0 uses more advanced tech, ps4 eye only adds a second cheap webcam and most likely won't ship with a move controller.

We'll know at E3 anyway, then let's start complaining.

I'm more worried about the requirement that every game needs to support remote play. What is that going to do for nice crisp 1080p UI's if they need to work on 960x544. And what about the missing shoulder buttons on Vita. The experience is completely different on 60" or 5".
