Kinect chief Kudo Tsunoda has told VG247 that 360’s incoming motion tech could only work on the Microsoft hardware.

The exec gave the statement when answering a question on whether or not Microsoft had traded off precision against immersion, given the fact Sony has clearly focused on “precision” as a differentiator in its Move marketing.

“Really, not at all,” he said, speaking at gamescom last month. “It’s not like we bring people working on Sony Move into the Microsoft offices and say, ‘Hey, wouldn’t you like to check out Kinect?’ And, ‘Let’s do some kind of precision test between Move and Kinect.’

“At the end of the day it’s funny to me. Those people really haven’t played with any of the Kinect technology, and I just think that as people see something completely unique that we’re doing on Xbox, not only with the full-body gesture stuff, but with the voice and the human recognition system, those are things that really can’t be done on any other console, or in any other medium.”

Tsunoda said he doesn’t waste his days figuring out how to “slam” the opposition.

“People try to figure, ‘Oh well, what is it that we can kind of grasp onto as a differentiator,’ as you said. To me, I don’t spend much of my time trying to figure out, ‘Oh, well how can I try and slam other people’s technology, or how I can say, ‘Here’s what’s bad about this tech or that tech,’ especially when I don’t even know, and haven’t played with it myself.

“Kinect is totally unique. It delivers something that you can’t get anywhere else in the world.”

Since making these comments, Microsoft’s confirmed that object-scanning and recognition for all but three languages have been dropped for Kinect’s launch.

Shiiiit, looks like I won't be able to use Kinect on my Wii.

You just lost a sale, Microsoft!

I'm glad you found the best part of the interview.

Yep 25 hour long motion control titles are not done on either sony or Ninty platforms, So i agree with him

I think they misinterpreted what he said. 

I don't think he meant the Xbox was the only machine CAPABLE of doing Kinect, just that it was the only console WITH Kinect and therefore was the only hardware out there where you can do the things Kinect can do.

If you want the Kinect experience then the 360 is only place you will get that.  Not that it has some special computing power that the other consoles are incapable of.

lying, without telling a lie. i luv them for that, makes my day. :D

NERD!!!

Wow.  A reasonable response in the first 5 post????  On a KINECT story????  

It's gonna be a bright bright bright bright sunshiny day
