@BubbleF**kingBuddy: Well, to be honest, no it couldn't! And still can't. -_-.
The Playstation Eye has been out since just a bit after the PS2 came out. So it's been quite a while. The PlayStation Eye is ONLY A LOW RESOLUTION CAMERA!
While Natal is a combination of: A monochrome infrared sensor able to track the depth of each pixel, thus able to track your movements in 3D space. A long a high resolution digital camera beside it for importing you and stuff you want into the game. And also face recognition and all that jazz.
Zillion year old technology, the software for pricier Logitech webcameras could also insert such avatars (plus various live effects) to your video stream, and that was 2-3 years ago...
@Ian Grams: I think six axsis is better than wii motion.
My Reasoning:
It's built into a standard controller, not in its own motion device. It says to developers "remember, people really like their buttons so we're not going to let you forget that, but if you feel a motion gesture would help game play, you can utilize that as well.
My Evidence:
Ragdoll Kung-Fu

The PS Eye is very primitive compared to Natal.
