Kinect's power is that it sees depth, not just color. Thus, less cameras needed to obtain the same tracking accuracy. However, this comes in exchange for some limitations - pretty limited range (up to 5m) and reduced frame rate (30fps instead of 60 with PS Eye). So, PS Eye cameras still have some advantages which you may consider.
Using more than 3 Kinects does not make sense in circular camera setups, as will not provide additional accuracy. Instead, one may extend the capture area, placing the sensors in such a way that they are looking at different parts of the whole capture volume. However, substantial changes should be made to our calibration and tracking algorithms to support such distributed camera setups. We consider this as a future research activity.
