If this is true(I know its not...but lets preted it is), come next week when the sales are in, Sony will be kicking themselves for not making PSEye more viable in the market.

Seriously though...PSeye doesn't have the software coding behind it, half of the hardware features and gaming/marketing support needed to make it half of what Kinect is at the moment. And Kinect isn't even all the way there yet...

To a non discerning eye, even though Kinect is a definite jump from Wiimote and Move, I could see how someone wouldn't be like "this is the biggest thing since sliced bread!" It's different, but I feel like the experience is similar enough that, unless marketing campagins are more amazing then I give them credit for, it won't be hailed as the best thing ever.

The bolded part is what this comes down to. Microsoft is currently using half a Billion US-Dollars to convince the pubilc that Kinect is something radically new that hasn't existed before. And it seems to be working.

Well I have kinect and love the tech. It has hicups here and there but works good. No eye toy is not kinect. I bet the people talking junk have never played it and never will. I've played move and was not impressed.

To a degree Playstation Move can do what Kinect can (controllerless gaming). But Kinect can't do what Move can.

Kinect can introduce a controller and do more then move.

Yeah, and Sony could introduce a stereo Camera for Move.
The whole point of Kinect is to work WITHOUT controllers.

PS.
After paying 150 USD for the Kinect camera and being told that controllers WON'T be needed, how many people do you think would like to spend another ~50 USD per piece on additional controllers?
