You realize that "hardcore" gamers are only a small piece of the market right?
Quite the opposite really, in terms of gamers in general in connection with motion gaming.
Saving the $100 is far more important.
People on the fence about which console are going to go "Why is this one $100 cheaper?" "Because it doesn't come with the Kinect/Eye toy." "Oh, well what does that do?" "Facial recognition and some voice commands" "Oh, no thanks, rather save the $100 and just play games".
That's your casual consumer walking into walmart to buy a system with a friend not knowing much about either console.
You can fight it and argue it all you want, but motion gaming does not have a future on console, and sure as frick not on PC.
If motion gaming was something gamers actually wanted it wouldn't have been a shitshow on current gen that didn't sell for shite, and it would have numerous products from companies for PC's.
I would love to go to some huge PC gaming board and create a poll "Do you want a Kinect or Eye for PC?" Would be a complete shite show and you know it.
You're buying an Eye/Kinect for the voice commands more than anything else by a mile, and to a hardcore gamer, or casual gamer, is that worth an additional $100? 80% would say no.

The Wii is purely popular because it doesn't require you to know a ton of buttons.
These systems are marketed to the mass public, not gamers. Casual players don't want to have to read a manual and have a whole thing explained to them before the game starts.
And ensuring that everyone has a product in their home makes development for the product worthwhile.
If 100% of a client base has something to use, then people catering to that base will find ways to implement and improve it.
If 10% of a client base owns the product and 90% do not, there is zero incentive to devote time to it.
Hence, the Kinect will be developed and catered to. The eye will fall by the wayside, like the kinect for the 360. (This doesn't mean the new kinect will be a success. Just in strictly business terms, the eye has zero chance.)

Naw, we get way cooler shite than you console poors get. Oh and they were crowd funded...must mean there's a demand for them.
Oculous Rift + Omni
I wouldn't buy that stuff but there's a market for it on PC.
I agree about the motion control shite BTW.
Mobile video :dwi:
