PS2 owners want something else, something more - something innovative and replayable.

The original EyeToy: Play package was entertaining enough, and a decent demonstration of what the tech could do, but it lacked depth, and clearly wasn't enough to justify future EyeToy titles to PS2 owners by default - as evidenced by the failure of quick-fire follow-up EyeToy: Groove to renew interest in the peripheral last Christmas until it was hastily discounted to the impulse price it should have been released at in the first place.Ĭonsequently there's quite a lot riding on the second generation of EyeToy titles. It's important enough that Nintendo has publicly admitted its fondness and even jealousy for the 'Toy, and it's even prompted Microsoft to go one further and develop its own competing Xbox camera.Īnd yet, although there are undoubtedly plenty of the little Logitech-made cameras atop TVs around the globe, EyeToy is still considered something of a novelty.

It's enjoyed huge sales all around the world, and plenty of publishers have set about creating their own camera titles as a result (Konami's U-Move Super Sports being the most recent example), or at least incorporating the functionality into their PS2 titles (Harry Potter, etc) and providing PS2 versions of multiplatform games with something of a unique selling point - and giving console fans something else to think about as they stand there in Dixons contemplating which version of a game to buy.

EyeToy is a very important piece of kit for Sony.
