Isn't Kinect 1 not already capable of 640x480 depth resolution on the pc? I though it was quartered because on the limited bandwidth on the 360s USB interface?

No, speckle recognition requires a "glowing spot" of at least 2 by 2 pixels. So the camera resolution of 640*480 is reduced to 320*240.

The blurb doesn't tell how Kinect2 actually works (it does not use the Primesense method of Kinect (and what the hell is "active IR resolution"? - is that number given already a result of (pre-)processing?)

Sounds good...but expensive. I hope it isn't mandatory.


I don't thik it will be for us "core" gamers but I really don't think it'll mater. I'm expecting Microsoft to undercut Sony and the ps4 no matter the loss.... Well to a certain degree. They're not going to hand them out for free.

They're going with it as a peripheral?
Expect failure.


It's selling better than the Vita, how is that a failure?

So tl;dr it's a new Kinect that just works better?

It has nothing to do with Kinect, it's just named Kinect2 to not confuse people too much.

You know that I meant the original Kinect. You're right it isn't out and you're already called it a failure is a failure in itself.

What you seemingly want to happen and what could happen are different things. Sorry.

Then by extension ps4. It has a "Kinect like" camera or are you going to say that both Microsoft and Nintendo are going to fail yet magically in your mind that Sony will succeed with a very similar product in many ways?

Try harder.

I don't need to try at all. You will see, and that will be that.
