[QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]Kinect and Smartglass aren't innovative? cainetao11

I forgot about smartglass, but kinect is just an improvement on an existing concept. The eyetoy.

And two touch screens are just two Nintendo DS touch screens.

What do you mean?

[QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]The Eyetoy was a gaming webcame like the Xbox Live Vision. Kinect is a significant leap in motion gaming. It's like comparing a 28.8K modem with broadband. RR360DD

the difference is not that big and if it were then Move wouldn't have been as accurate as it is because its accuracy is 100% dependant on the head-tracking functionality.What Kinect does that the Eyetoy doesn't is that it recognizes different parts of the body while the Eyetoy is just head-tracking and nothing more. But the Xbox Live Vision is just a simple webcam.... lol

But yeah Kinect is innovation since improvements count as innovation too.

The difference is huge. Lets not forget the voice recognition either. And no, the xbox live vision has games for it, and they're just as bad as eye toy games.

IIRC the ps eye does have voice recognition.

[QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]Kinect and Smartglass aren't innovative? GunSmith1_basic

I forgot about smartglass, but kinect is just an improvement on an existing concept. The eyetoy.

remember though, that what makes Kinect is not just the camera. It is true that Kinect uses a much better camera than eyetoy and pseye but the real genius of kinect is in the software that supports the hardware. Kinect uses a lot of complex programs dealing with skeletal recognition and many other ways of keeping track of what is happening and who is doing it, or saying it. That counts as innovation enough that I would consider Kinect to be original. Of course though, MS did not make Kinect. They purchased the company who did, and that company originally approached Nintendo about using it.

Well if you put it that way, can't we say the same thing about the ps move as well.

I think that company approached Sony too. I remember seeing a video of the guy who created the move using that camera tech. Maybe Sony wanted to use it but MS bought them out before they could. Idk

Now that I think about it, I would say MS is the least innovative console manufacturer at the moment.

Lately Sony has released the ps vita (first hand held with 2 touch interfaces) and will release Wonder book sometime this year.

MS hasn't done anything innovative lately.

Many innovations mentioned aren't all that innovative, just something brought to consoles for the first time. I'll start a list excluding sh!t like Kinect and Move (lol)

Sony

  • Hard drive support (Before Xbox 1 launched)
  • Cloud saving
  • Automatic downloads
  • Remote Play
  • Disc based games
  • 3D
  • Dual analog
  • Other OS when it existed

MS

  • DLC
  • Achievements/Gamerscore
  • Netflix/media services on consoles
  • Cross game chat
  • Trial games
  • How you can download something to the 360 via Xbox.com, dunno if there's a name for this feature
  • Wireless controllers

Floppy_Jim

I thought Nintendo had the first wireless controller.

Depends on what you mean by innovation. I would say it's a tie between MS and Sony.

Microsoft is pretty much done. They should give up Xbox. This is a massive amount of milkage! It shows you that Xbox has no games.

Lems, it's time to switch sides.

Unless, like me, Halo is one of your favorite shooters, the more Halo the better i say, cows are just butthurt that they don't have a franchise as big or as relevent as Halo.

Doubt it. Uncharted was brought to Vita in an attempt to sell consoles. It didn't really work. Perhaps if it was made by Naughty Dog--people can see it isn't of the same quality. I just finished Uncharted 3 on crushing last night and it certainly feels like the end, or at least a long brake. I bet Naughty Dog is working on something all new---or, maybe all old, like Crash Bandicoot.Heirren

They sold that IP a long time ago.
