I also have to say your point of view is narrow.  Both MS and Sony compete in the console space and each have taken the best things from each other which is just smart business.  While each company has taken ideals and products from each other both have done it their own way.  Kinect as a device goes way beyond what the Eyetoy tries to do or accomplish.  It's also evident that MS has been working on the tech far longer than Sony has worked on the Eyetoy.  Hololens is definitely not a response to Sony VR effort.  Both technolgies are totally different and reach a different type of audience and experience.  Say MS copied Sony in this respect really is looking at the situations in the wrong way.


All I said was rather than jump the gun on VR tech, why not wait and see the yield of what the other person does. The only thing worth copying (if it has to be done) is the sure thing. Sony tends to take more risk than Microsoft, but what Microsoft made that they copied was a sure thing nevertheless. Motion gaming is fleeting, but online is going to be around for a good long while. Sony as a business is known for making hardware so they will be doing these things quite naturally and with ease. Microsoft doesnt have to meet them halfway everytime. We're still some time away from VR being the in thing.

I am trying to talk about the rational thing to do, not the most cut throat.
