Will Asus?s Kinect Clone End Up Like Its Wii Clone?

Asus has been working with Kinect co-creator PrimeSense to put together a PC-based version of Microsoft's hit depth-detecting game controller. The thought, I presume, was that PC gamers and hackers would like a native device and an open platform for gesture-based game and OS controls. Their creation has been around for a bit, but we haven't heard much regarding it, perhaps because it isn't really an exact copy of the Kinect at all, but an inferior product. Asus is launching a new version (the Xtion Pro Live, detailed here at VR Zone), but one can't help being reminded of their ill-fated "Eee Stick," another game-controller clone that never took off.
