What has kinect done..? There is literally not a single game that justifies it's existence.There's no reason for it at all.What, voice commands? Camera isn't needed for that.

Just the Mic.Like using the UI on PS4 with a $5 mic.

"Kinect gives MS a serious advantage if this VR stuff takes off because kinect is already included and it detection and interaction is the best you can get in natural input or motion gaming."

By all accounts Morpheus will be bundled with a Camera rending the "advantage" null.Don't even get me started on the hilariously bad tracking of kinect..i'm serious.

You and i both know it's hit and miss, at BEST.Any of the hundreds of gameplay videos show it.Nothing compares to the 1:1 tracking of the PS eye and LED light tracking of move for example.Morpheus will use the same LED type tracking.

Sounds good to me.

I want this right now just for the reason of watching 3D movies. $300-$400 range is so much cheaper than the 3D headset and even has 1080p which is the reason I held out on buying the older head-sets.

If there are even VR games out for it then great cuz it'll just be a bonus.

$300-$400 for a dedicated 1080p big gaming screen + 3D is a steal.

You are correct about one thing. Kinect is limited in terms of providing long-lasting and immersive gameplay, and everything Microsoft attempted to sell it on initially ("you are the controller", "better with kinect") has not come to fruition, even with the new iteration. I would say that is all lies based on what we are seeing now, but it's not, cause MS and their die-hard supporters found out the hard way.

Their message about Kinect has radically shifted for this hardware generation. MS are never consistent with their messaging. Kinect is now best served for multimedia, but then again, voice commands are the #1 boasted about features of the Xbone and that is possible with a microphone, not a $100 camera.

Your opinion on VR is invalidated by user experience and feedback from Oculus Rift. You are just trying to downplay it cause Sony has announced their foray into it, and because MS hasn't. You have no real idea about the potential or what Sony plans to do as far as mass market penetration is concerned. But you hope it's all on-rails, because you're a known Sony/PS4 detractor.

VR has been around for decades in case you didn't know. Its a hindered technology and unless there has been something miraculous happen its still a hindered technology. I have read all about Oculus Rift and Morpheus and I don't see either one as anything more than a on rails tech demo. But you a known sony bot will trumpet this Project Morpheus as the future. $1 says Project Morpheus will end up just being a head mounted tv, just like VR has been for the past 20 years.

So you've read all about Oculus and Morpheus and neglect to see that Oculus has been used in plenty of games that aren't on-rails demos.

I will trumpet whatever technology is poised as "the future" when it comes down to the fact that this opportunity the industry has with VR is the most immersive kind of experience gaming can offer. This has nothing to do with corporate allegiance, but it so happens that Sony have taken the step to bring the VR experiences (that I was going to invest into on PC), into the living room, and I'm still excited for both, as if that's a sin.

Do you think it's any coincidence that all the big players are putting their all into VR at this specific moment? Oculus beginning their VR tech and releasing a Kickstarter for it in 2012. Sony working on prototypes for VR since 2010, and announcing their official devkit in 2014. Valve working on R&D and probably bringing out a version slightly later.

These are no coincidences as far as this is concerned. The technology of yesteryear was the hinderance. The hardware is at a stage that it can achieve immersion like we've never before seen, and we've already seen immersive VR on Oculus.

And $1... nice bet, really shows how confident you are about your own predictions.

People are alreadying doing it. Finger controls for OR. Sony could release and say its innovative tho.

@green One bubble. I see why. I wouldn't trust M$ to make a VR headset. They will be better off using someone else's. We all know how horrible they are at making hardware. Zune, Xbox 360(rrod), xbox one huge like a vcr with a big hole in the top, power bricks in 2014. Sony console= half the size, no power brick, and more powerful. Less power of green. More size of green.

Don't forget the extra secret gpu built right into the kinect and also the 6gb of ddr4 ram hidden inside the controller, all it needs is the coming of the messiah (DX12) to bring it to life.
But of course, that is all covered by a super secret NDA, which even the top people at MS don't know about.

Morpheus and Rift will do just fine on there own.

You comedian........ Lol
