As many of you clearly remember, the motion gaming was a pretty big deal in the 7th generation of consoles. Wii broke records at launch, it was unbeatable. Then Kinect came and it also broke records (the amount of records available is never short of amazing). It is no surprising that, on the eve of the launch of the next generation consoles, they are still a big deal. Despite the similarities in the technology behind them, the media is acting like Kinect is significantly superior, and for a variety of reasons, it is not true. The Kinect seems to have technical lead right out of the gate, but it is too early lo hand it the decisive victory. Sİnce when the most powerful hardware sells the most anyway?

The most important fact to remember is that people who can actually tell the difference between them are few and far between. When you read stuff about them on the internet, people make it seem like PS Eye is garbage and Kinect is the second coming of Christ. In reality, casuals don't care. They can't tell the difference. They are stupid, idiotic morons. 

Let's say, Kinect is actually much superior powerwise. It was never about power, anyway. Was Kinect 1 able to play games like Zelda or Super Mario? Of course not. Will it be able to play Play Room? Of course not. 

One of the most important things is also price. Kİnect probably adds at least 150$ to the Xbone price. You can buy the Eye for 60$. That is at least 90$ saved for games. At least.

I can say more, but I think point is taken. They both track body movements. Both have voice recognition, gesture recognition, facial recognition. The differences are negligible. Considering the price though, PS Eye is a much better buy.

LOTS of assumptions and nothing to back up anything you're saying.

Is this supposed to be a satire thread, parodying the overblown power differences between the PS4 and X1? I'm being serious.

It's meant to mock the 720p vs 1080p talk.

Well My assumption is looking at how both companies marketed their own version.

MS built the kinect into the operating system and I'm sure they are selling it with the 1st batch of consoles to get reviews out their that they are most likely confident will be positive. It's been a big part of their marketing.

PS eye is cast aside as an optional buy and hardly ever talked about.

Going buy how the creators handled each one I expect that the difference is obvious when they finally land in the hands of consumers.

I wouldn't bet on a horse the owner wouldn't even bet on is all I can say.

Kinect is 10x better than ps eye, hell it could be 100x better than ps eye, that doesn't change the fact that I don't care about motion gaming in general so I won't pay $100 premium for features that I won't use/care.

Cool, thats your choice. I am glad you realized that that is why the bone cost more though, people seem to forget that it in the box.

So, you make a thread about how the differences are negligible... Without any sources and without ever trying either of them out... Yeah... I think I will wait until I have tried them before making any judgements...

edit: joke thread?  I hate you

The problem with that logic, is that Sony will not be supporting the eye, or camera, or whatever they are calling it, like Microsoft will with the Kinect. Although it was very risky to make Kinect mandatory, they at least know that everyone has one. Hopefully they'll make good software that will take adventage of it. I'm not even sure Sony knows there plan for the camera.

Lol that bait. I see one victim already.
