I just want to discuss this since gamer's perception change when saying Eyetoy was just a gimmick and then came the Wii with its controller and suddenly theres a stampede in E3 06. I just wanna know how a product became a novel.

 simple, no bundling from launch with free game, lack of games for it and nowhere near the amount of media coverage.

QFT. 

EyeToy and PSEye are also too limited for anything beyond specifically designed games for it.  The Wii-mote is the same to an extent but is far easier to incorporate into games than would be either camera peripheral.

 

 Devs still can add in bonus features if you have it. Look at what EA did with Burnout. It supports the PSEye. Also wtf are you talking about them being limited? The PS3 has added in more functionality with the video chat feature. Plus EyeCreate is agreat video application.

 The PSEye has been way more successful then the EyeToy has.
