Don't know why people fuel the M$ hype machine.

If you've worked in security or with facial recognition, etc. you probably still don't have something as cutting edge as they say this technology is. What about skin tones, lighting, and clothes the color of the wall behind me. Computers and hardware still have issues with these. So I can see nothing I can get for $19.99 on a console that deals with these issues any better. They could combine it with a motion sensor, which would make the detection more reliable...But now we'd be talking Nintendo v. M$ lawsuit.

The motion sensor in the Wii is not perfect, but it has a following. But eventually it does get old. I'm sure Microsoft is just concerned that the immediate hype might be pulling current XBox users to a new platform. So if they string everyone along like with all other M$ products and hype it up, the camera if it is ever even released will be only good enough that someone with an XBox will buy the camera rather than a whole new Wii console.

As a matter of fact, I would say that allowing a rumor such as this to leak accomplishes more for M$ then releasing the actual product. Because people with the Xbox, investors, etc. will hold out and wait to see what's coming.

Of course with M$...what's usually coming is the same crap in a shiny new chamber pot.
