Gotta laugh at MS fans who think this is anything like the Kinect and XboxOne. Is PS4 Eye required to be hooked in at ALL times? No. If the PS4 Eye breaks, will the system no longer work or allow me play games? It's not required, so no. Does its inclusion show that Sony is focusing more on casual gaming over core? Nope. Can't really say the same thing about Kinect and MS. Anything to justify MS's decisions and focus, I guess.

Personally, I can't wait to try out the new camera. Motion gaming is definitely not the main way I game, but it's fun with the right games. It will be interesting to see how much the have improved head tracking.

Being hooked in at all times is a bad argument since it can be turned off and has privacy settings. That is the point after all.

Saying the X1 won't work/play games if Kinect breaks? Now thats just baseless propaganda.

If this is true, it means they are bundling a optional accessory with the PS4, just like Kinect being with every X1. Simple and basic comparison.

And funnily enough, you tout PS Eyes improved head tracking, when kinect 2.0 can do that and so much more, yet you condem it.

Gotta laugh at uninformed fans that use double standards....

Baseless propaganda? Open your eyes man:

"Xbox's UK marketing director Harvey Eagle has said that the console will not function without Kinect connected. 'Kinect DOES require to be connected to Xbox One in all cases, yes'"

They are open, I just see context better.

"without kinect attached". thismeintiel referred to a "broken" kinect preventing your X1 from working. A broken kinect can be still connected, just not working...pretty much the equivalent to you turning it off in privacy settings.

So, just because it breaks, doesn't mean it is disconnected.

And your source is?
