Possibly no, but did you notice:
1. It's not "click to embiggen", but "click the monkey"
2. The soccer jersey at the end of the video says "Leipzig"...

Just a thought.

If it throws poop at you when it gets mad, I'm buying a PS3 immediately.

This might be a hit in Japan. Remember Nintendogs? That sold like crazy there. Now all they need is more role playing games to really start kicking.

This is totally off topic I'm afraid but would it be possible to turn on filtering for the joystiq video player...it looks pretty horrid unfiltered.

On topic, I think this looks pretty kewl. The fur effects look nice anyway....:P

They should have made the pet the kid from the grudge or the girl. Have your friend sit on the couch and he hears the noise the girl makes from your 7.1 surround sound and he is looking at her standing behind him on the tv and flips. that would be great.

Typical, I buy the nintendo console for all the "innovative" breakthroughs that would be coming down the pipe with the use of the wiimote and Sony's the one impressing me the most when it comes to innovative game design.

Sony are doing some cool things. Especially with the EyeToy. Check this demo back when the PS3 was being annonced: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqkyo6Es1Ic&feature=related

Amazing, right? Well, things like that, and like this EyePet, have been shown on concepts for ages. If those concepts actually make it to games, we could see things like eyetoy-controlled turntables, and even things like Wii Sports - using a standard tennis racket (or cheap plastic tube), and having the motion detected by cameras in stead of accelerometers. Sony have been experimenting with this stuff for ages.

your so right... but hey its not coming until late 2009 so with more of the same spouting out from each console nintendo might do something similar after seeing this... but it wont look as good.

But it's the same "non-game" "hardcore" gamers complain about. If air drumming is a joke, air petting is equally so. That's not to say I don't find this highly adorable and innovative, but it's no more realistic for me to buy this than it would me buying Nintendogz or Ubisoft's numerous pets sims. Part of it though is because I never really cared for webcam games where you just "waggle" your on screen body to hit on screen objects. That said, I have nothing against this. Self-centered gamers might bemoan the mere existence of "casual" "games" like this or Wii Music, but I think it's important to the overall development of the medium.

Hmm... I wonder how much this will cost? If it's going to be priced like other PS Eye "games" and be $10 at the most, or if they'll try to push this as a full featured game and ask $20 or $30 for it.

Actually, I don't care. I'm totally getting it!

If it moves on disc, which would be weird, I'm sure it'll be the regular price bundled with the PS EYE.

I'm having a hard time believing it would work that perfectly. Especially the car thing. Also, what happens if I don't have a table?
I still want it though.

I wonder if there'll be other pets...I'd wanna poke a virtual bunny (or playboy bunny)

anyway, I'd so take a butcher knife, put it up to the screen, and totally slaughter that monkey...but that would be morally incorrect wouldn't it...?

This might actually be a big hit if Sony delivers on what it promises in the video, as far as innovation and interactivity go. I mean seriously, what kid hasn't thought, "Man...you know what would be awesome? A f***ing pet monkey."

Well, that's what I thought at the age of six anyhow. Then I took a bong hit and yelled to my mom to keep the taquitos and PBR's coming.

Worry.....suddenly tamagotchi comes to mind.

I hope it doesn't run on alert system, the last thing I want is to be in a game of Motostorm or something online and bam, up pops a message saying my eyepet is ill, take it to the virtual vet :S

'Sorry mates, gotta run, my eyepet is ill, maybe some other time ey?'

Its all cute now >:( But you just wait till that little bastard starts pooing everywhere and you have to clean it all the time, and falls sick and gets hungry constantly, then you have to watch its diet, make sure its not to fat or thin, entertain it >:O what about constantly having to cuddle it and tell it you love it so it doesn't feel insecure about life. Then you have to make sure it doesn't get bullied....sorry getting carried away here, heh heh :D
