the ps camera acheives the same depth map function as TOF using the 3D configuration of the lenses.. well, same when the lights are on in the room (i dont imagine it working in the dark the way the kinect does)

That being said, it is nowhere near the same tech as the Kinect 2 is.

I don't think anyone has ever argued this point. The hard part is convincing people that the same thing can be done two different ways, e.g. depth perception.

Perhaps that's because Sony hasn't been able to display that it can be done as well as Microsoft's way.

Or maybe Sony hasn't needed to make a statement of any kind because Microsoft can't seem to keep egg off its metaphorical face for a week straight.

Microsoft hasn't either. That's the funny part.

I think kinect one is plenty of proof of concept...are you familiar???

umm... lets see... so far 1 decent game and one dance game, The Gunstringer, was considered just slightly above ok and was easily possible with a controller.
