Microsoft wasnt the first to bring a proper camera recognition device to gaming, Sony was. Neither the Move nor the Kinect are needed. They are optional devices that should be allowed be used if the people want them. If Microsoft wants people to use the Kinect, maybe they should (themselves) make compelling games and stop waiting for third party to prove the value of the product for them. This has always been Microsofts problem. They try to get people to believe in things that dont exist. They create hype where there is none.

Please, let's not give Sony credit for something it doesn't deserve.  Capture devices on consoles were out years before Sony even came out with the original Play Station. 

The move isn’t a bad device. It’s just a HD Wii.

There is a difference between innovation and ‘things that do not exist.’ There are many good Kinect Games for the Xbox 360.  They just didn’t bring enough out on the Xbox One.  On that I agree they failed at doing.

Then again, perhaps this was Don’s plan all along? (Thus the birth of a conspiracy!)

 


Ok...so lets just not act like the Kinect 2 does everything the Eyetoy accomplished a decade earlier. Lets not just admit that Sony didnt reject the device known as the Kinect before MS bought it because they knew the inefficiency themselves of creating a controllerless device. 

The move is essentially in development before the Wii ever came out. Do the research. Sony state back in 2004 that you cannot have a stand alone camera. Sony said they were not satisfied with the Eyetoy even though they accomplished the goal of creating the eyetoy and launching it in 2004. They immediately began thinking of a seconday way to create peripheral device. 

Nintendo beat them to the punch,  just like IPad tablets beat the Wii U to the punch. Nintendo had created the idea for a tablet gaming before the IPad even came out. Microsoft just buys other peoples crap and slaps Microsoft on it. Thats the extent of their creativity.

The Move had vastly more potential than the Wii did because you can control the 3D realm and manipulate it rather than just swinging at it. Think Minority report when you do the research about it. The camera adds to the controller movement. Nintendo never had that.
