More people were present at my launch day on the 15th June 1992.

@TooOldForGaming -Facepalm- What I MEAN is that the Eyetoy was most definitely the first for the whole 'You are the controller' thing.

[DarkStrobeLight]

Kinect is not Move, and they never intended it to be, Kinect is for families! I've been having a lot of fun playing Adventures with my GF in our undies, and my daughter has been loving her Kinectimals!

...when i was working in GAME for the midnight release, only 5 people came in...FIVE PEOPLE!

[dragonman]

at least they're getting active and actually moving around rather than sitting on a couch playing xbox 360
think about it for a while.

@MultiDinoboy maybe at launch, but there might be good titles to come out. as for me, i would have waited a few months to see if there would be any better releases.

[PattyJamez]

the free mini pies almost make it worth it

[Sesto-]

Wow.. never knew people actually wanted this so much.

[Taylor]

@D3PRIV3D But they're done to a completely different extent. EyeToy didn't have facial or voice recognition. Comparing the two is like comparing an eagle with a cow because they both have eyes.

@DonkeyDelight As I told the other guy,
The Eyetoy was most definitely the first for the whole 'You are the controller' thing.

@AkioET 1) do u know the time crisis games? awesome games, hardcore games, only playable with the move 2) most games are compatible with move, nobody forces you to play with move, u can play games with the classic controller, BUT U HAVE THE CHOICE to use move.

[Pedrotucompa]

I cant wait to play my Kinect after a hard days work.... oh wait.

[treyart]

@treyart1 "we get the product first" my bad!

[SML]

@115dejuan That's fair enough. I didn't check the release dates for either so... lol

[rossosnaruto]

FACT: 1) REAL GAMERS NEED CONTROLERS 2) PS MOVE LOOKS SLIGHTLY BETTER JUST BECAUSE ITS A CONTROLER AND SUPPORTS HARDCORE GAMES

[aidanrox]

if this was kinnect, i wonder how big black ops was.

[TheDaveMagic]

I want to beat the crap outta Kudo Tsunoda. He almost killed the Fight Night series with Round 3 and he destroyed the Def Jam series with ICON. HE'S the creative director to Kinect? I won't be getting this anytime soon.

@Pedrotucompa I did watch the video and I actually have an eyetoy original. Just to clarify I think Kinect and move are a pile o' crap, but I was admitting that the technology in the kinect camera is better, because it's newer. This was in response to people comparing the move with the Wii but whatever. Yeah I really didn't get your point because I didn't know which comment you were responding to. Now i'm gonna go back to under my bridge to bully the three goats.
