Wait, you mean PS4 can do this even without the PSEYE that costs 60$ and gives some basic voice commands and facial recognition? I have not heard any report that it can also activate your TV, your surround set-up and turn your console on through the sound of your voice, but maybe I have missed something. And ofcourse you can´t use the Kinect, it is not even compatible with PS4 :).

Its not weak, its doesnt need to overload the system with power to realize the move is the perfect marriage for the PS Eye so you can actually play your  games properly and not play on rails or just dance. Kinect will forever be minigames/rails until they realize they need a camera tracking device to help move the camera. It can be as powerful as it wants to be. Where Sony is truly lost is the games for it. Theres no comparing both pieces of tech when it comes to games...Kinect is definitely less able than the Eye + Move combo.

When did I say it was weak? It is in a lot of ways another type of peripheral than Kinect and they do alot things differently from each other. Kinect is perfect for some types of games, and not others and I have gotten alot of enjoyment out of it. With the new generation I will probably use Kinect equally with games as with movies, music, navigation and as an IR blaster so we are talking about quite different products, where I prefer Kinect and other PSEYE. That doesn´t mean that one product is objectively worse than the other, does it?


Its the same thing as the Kinect, just less powerful yet more capable and intuitive than the Kinect in gaming. This is the very reason Sony turned down the Kinect tech. Sony could use it control media but they just wont (hopefully they surprise us but again they are leaving the choice up to you to buy it). They just want to focus on controlling games properly, yet their problem with game development outside of the main console persists.
