Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Microsoft is "World's MOST Innovative Company"

oh and just to make sure, Sony doesn't copy them, Microsoft also recently bought  Canesta, the company behind Eyetoy.

Microsoft this week bought Canesta, the company which provided the gesture control technology behind the Sony Eyetoy – and immediately set the gaming community arguing over whether it was to stop Sony from having access to the technology or because its own Kinect “Project Natal” technology is still rough around the edges

Also a very innovative move by Microsoft.

Windows Phone 7 is innovative? I hear you can't even multitask.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

You might argue Apple's launch of the iPad was huge -- it was, and will continue to change computing -- but when you think about it, the iPad is essentially just a giant iPod Touch. You might think the wild success of Android, or the introduction of Google TV, would rocket the Internet giant to the top of the list -- but neither was truly groundbreaking this year. And sure, Ford expanded its installations Sync (which, by the way, runs on Microsoft Windows Embedded) to millions of vehicles, but in-car infotainment is nothing new.

But a compact and affordable system by which people can use full-body gestures and voice commands to control Xbox games and other software? Yeah, that's pretty innovative.

Honestly this is the kind of pointless statement that basically gets everyone pissed off.


I agree with you. That is definately flamebait, and if he gets away with it, I will make a sony based statement that is similar. Or I will just ignore it depending on my mood.

I wonder how Eyetoy (or even the Xbox Live Vision Camera) feel about this.....if they were alive......and not high on PCP.

Don't you mean PVC? Those vinyl affictionardos must be high on something.



Tease.

Yeah. That's why they only mentioned Kinect.

No need to get pissed off, it's a true assessment of reality.

Microsoft pretty much has unlimited money (compared to other companies) so yes, I do feel sorry for companies trying to compete against that bankroll....it's not fair

And still the Wii has 32M more sales than the 360. I wonder why that is.

????????????????????... and?

My point is just because MS has unlimited money doesn't mean that they have an advantage as he is saying. He doesn't have to feel sorry for anything.
