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?  So you think it just needs  to sense that the cord is plugged in and that's it?  If that was the case, then people could just cut the cord or 3rd parties could just make a plug end to fool the console.  No, I'm sure the Xbox One must receive a signal from the Kinect itself.  In fact, the rumors stated that the camera must also be connected AND calibrated for the console to work. So, if that is true and the Kinect breaks, then yes, you have a nice paperweight of a console.  Even though the console itself is fully functional.

And to actually think that people are opposed to the Kinect, just because it's bundled?  That's ignoring the truth of the matter, as well as deflecting all the negativity pointed at it as just fanboy rants.
