I don't suspect an XBOX 360 'eyetoy' game would really incur Sony's legal biz, unless we're saying that Nintendo can sue almost every other developer for making platform games (considering they all came from Super Mario Bros...).

There aren't enough girls on Live to make a camera worth while...? ;)

Cybering with readnecks is a scary thought! Its bad enough having to listen to some of the people singing and whining, are we going to have to watch them dancing and mooning us now as well?

Dout sony could sue they never evented web cams or web cam games, infact just about every web cam you could buy for a pc a year before eyetoy was ever thought off had free copies of the same sort of games in the first eyetoy pack.

I hear you King. It's okay to bitch over Live at people and the like, but cameras could be taking it too far while playing games, but I could be wrong.

Live has succeeded well, so it's really up to the gamer if this takes off or not.

Motion detection algorithms were invented long before the eyetoy was a blip on Sony's radar, and I very much doubt they own the technology. I think this legal action fantasy is just Spong's Sony fanboyism coming to the surface. I would be far more interested in seeing Microsoft copy and improve on Nintendo's Revolution controller, using solid state gyroscopes to track motion, instead of relying on stupid detectors having to be placed next to the telly. I have a projector and Nintendo's solution just doesn't work for my setup.
