Microsoft planning to take on Wii and EyeToy?

Microsoft is looking to acquire an Israeli imaging company in a bid to ‘anxiously outdo the Wii’ according to new reports on the web this morning.

According to a report in the Israel press, the format-holder is looking to buying 3DV Systems and its camera-based motion-sensing technology and integrate it into its games business.
