Sly Sony up to their tricks again.

This will definently be a problem because not every consumer will have one, so Devs won't dev for it, so it will become like the Kinect, useless after a while.

This also makes the LightBar kinda useless other than appeal which suxx

I was thinking of getting the Camera anyway though, cuz the features tie well with the console.

I'm still going to buy an Eye just because of this video. Imagine having a little Knack in your living room?

I expect some sort of Ghost game with this thing.

I don't really like the camera but that video was good =)

Even if the camera had to be included. It would only be $460.

I don't care, I never liked the camera anyway. It's good they don't make you buy it. Hopefully it wasn't going to be included in games anyways, kinect games sucked.

Watch as Microsoft damages control by getting rid of mandatory Kinect setup.

[Scumbag]

Pfft who cares? Microsoft doesn't even include a headset with Xbone yet PS4 does while being cheaper, sexier and more powerful.

Sony didn`t just outdone MS, they also shot themselves in the foot. Not being part of the actual HW will mean that not everyone will own one and developers will look at this (attach rates). And seeing as MS will bundle Kinect, the EYE will probably go the same route as the EYE for PS3 and Move: it won`t make a real difference.

I couldn't give a flying f about all of these motion controls and wierd cameras and stuff, I'm glad Sony have taken it out and made PS4 cheaper, it's not needed, just give me games.

That's not strictly true. The light bar on the controller isn't just for communicating with the camera. It also indicates which player you are. Also developers can include things in their game which trigger the light bar and make it light up a certain colour indicating something specific.

I do think its a mistake leaving it out. The trade off is that the console comes in at a lower price. It also means that developers won't have any incentive to include its use in their games and in the long run this might be more significant then having a higher price. They should have just bit the bullet and included it with a higher price tag.

i love it when people think Sony is "being sly" for keeping peripherals PERIPHERALS! If it's optional, I DONT WANT to have to buy it. Now if it were mandatory and they didn't include it in the cost, yes, that would be messed up. But it's not, and i'm thrilled. I don't like these silly little gimmicks that watch me all day.
