Sony's Tretton: PS2 Plus EyeToy = Microsoft's Natal
The negative selling in the motion controller wars steps up a gear with SCEA CEO Jack Tretton comparing Microsoft's NATAL to "eight year old technology".

During the latest GTTV broadcast, responding to the proposition that Microsoft's Natal and 'controller free gaming' "is a big idea", the Sony boss says:

"I think it's a big idea, and if you really want to get involved in playing with a camera I suggest you go out and buy a $99 PlayStation 2 and play some of the great technology we invented eight years ago."

Check it out at a minute, 33 seconds. He then supports Move by stating, "I think, that ultimately this is next-generation motion gaming." He can't however, "guarantee that every games going to have motion gaming elements..."

He also points out that "We don't have any 3D motion gaming experiences..."

We can only expect the Motion Controller Wars to get nastier.
