Ok, I'm pretty sure a lot of nintendo fans were still all about motion controls being the future after Sony made that remark.

So basically they're just pissed Sony copied them completely?

I can understand how this is gonna piss Nintendo fans off, but at the same time I can't see Nintendo fans wanting Sony/Microsoft to be innovative with motion controls??

Although, from few fans I have heard "at least natal is a different interface and not a complete copy", it still doesn't seem to be welcomed with open arms given the "motion is the future" vibe I got from 06 - 08

Who's angry? I haven't met too many angry fans. Infact most fans are looking forward to watching Sony's blatent rip off go up in smoke. I myself laugh at Sony's attempt to steal the Wiimote, the hardware alone can't redeem Sony. All Sony's best publishers could develope anything MoveFit, MovePlay, MoveSports and they will still fail.

Its not just the Wiimote that makes the Wii great. its the first party content and nothing Sony can do will change the fact that they are ultimatly inferior.

P.S- I own a PS3, but Move is not going to challenge Nintendo. I will likely not pick up Move I just don't see the point in paying upwards of a 100$ for the exact same motion sensing technology I get on my Wii without the strong software to back it up!

didnt nintendo say storage is for geeks?

anyway, move looks to be more precise, is likely to come with charge cables, has wireless controller addon and on top of that uses pseye which in turn can be used as a mic.

no need to buy a seperate wiispeak!

but end of day we will have to see which provides best games, ps move or wimoteplus.

I don't think the skepticism around Natal has anything to do with Nintendo fans. Many people are skeptic about it, until we actually get to play it, there's really nothing much to say about this.

The fact that Nintendo fans are annoyed at Sony and not MS' motion controls means it clearly has something to do with the fact that Move looks like a copy. The hypocrisy thing probably just makes it worse, because I imagine MS probably bashed motion controls in the past too, yet they don't receive the same hate (I could be wrong here).

The people that claim Nintendo fans are hating due to fear of Sony having superior games seems off (the only people saying this are those who aren't exactly fans of the Wii). The fact is, people don't like it when companies rip-off others. When MS "copied" Mii's with their avatars, there was similar bashing, yet it's not as if Nintendo fans were jealous of those avatars or something.

ignore them they are all butt hurt because the wiimote is not as good as ps move, as it has augmented reality and it can also do some things that natal can do like body tracking, notice how no-one is attacking natal, it looks like ps move may well be more succesful then we all think and the ninty fans now that which is why they keep on attacking it.

not to mention it already has better games for it, even though wm+ has been around for a while and all they got was wii sports resort that was worth getting i mean all that for a £40 add on i would be pissed off as well, which is why i did not bother with wm+ and will just get ps move instead

WiiMote lacks the bulb/ice cream scoopful/killer klown from outer space nose on its top, so it's clearly domed.

This blunder apart, maybe Ninty and some fans are realizing that selling WM+ as a separate add-on instead of including its features in WiiMote since the beginning, as most BTW expected initially, was a shortsighted saving, as every 3rd party developer wishing or needing to use its improved precision knows from the start that WM+ market is a minority fraction of Wii's one. But Nintendo is more than happy with the market it got with Wii's standard features and the nice and huge profits WiiFit (that differently from WM+, is quite obviously a peripheral to be sold as an optional add-on, in this case there's neither doubt nor controversy) added, so why worry?

Wow, this thread's still alive?

What the dead pope said!

i have been wondering the same for quite a while now, but my question would have been: "What do Nintendo fans want?"

Many of them act as if Sony needs to fall on its knees and beg forgiveness or issues an official apology or something.

So, Sony "copied" the Wiimote? Rejoice! You have been right about motion controls all along! The Move still can fail, but it's not going away just because you don't like it.

And do people honestly think bashing the Move now makes them any better then the Sony fans that have been bashing the motion controls back then? Its the same patterns: "if i can't have it so i don't want it" or "i like this one so the other one must be bad"

I also believe that Sony honestly believed that motion control is a "fad" back then, because of their experience with the Eyetoy. So, they where wrong, big deal! Its not like Nintendo were absolutely sure about their approach, hence the somewhat limited original Wiimote.

So, please tell me, what do you want? What would make you stop flocking into every thread that has the word "Move" in the title?
