WiiMote Plus includes 3D gyros, like PS Move did before. Is it a rip-off?

BTW Ninty didn't dare to put an ice-cream scoopful on top of it, it takes Sony's courage to do it!

Damnit Nintendo, Sony has been doing this since 1769, and you just rip it off without blinking! How dare you!?

I wouldn't be surprised to see them make a 3D console next...

Sure! Controller cases used to be made of wood, cast iron or papier mâché before Sony invented the plastic case!

I can't tell if this is a joke or not... since Wii Motion Plus was announced before the Move, and this is just implementing it into the main controller.

Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Only grannies and crabby spinster great-aunts used the latter, they never took-off commercially!
