Sony copies Nintendo with the cross button layout of the SNES controller. Then the analog and rumble of the N64 controller. Then belatedly adds motion controls to the Sixaxis after Nintendo announced motion controls. Now they are blatantly copying the Wii remote with their colored ice cream cone controller.

Sony has no shame, no dignity, no creativity.

Thankfully they've got a solid library of real games to make up for their decision to join the Wii and 360's lame motion control party.



It's all about the game.

Oh please, MS, Sega, Sony. they've ALL done it, so stop crying.

it was an inevitable update, and there's a huge gap between the new motion control and the wii, you can do practically everything on the ps3 one D:, at least, thats what I saw on the video.

And what the hell did Microsoft do?
Jesus.


Microsoft aquired the company who actually pefected motion sensing. Sonys eye toy was a joke and the only way to make it truly work was to copy the Wii's wand. I like it to tell you the truth, but that doesn't change the fact. Microsoft has the most unique motion sensor.

Did you misspell "perfected" on purpose because Microsoft's motion sensing is FAR from perfect, or because you really think this:  and  is "perfect" and you just happened to misspell it by mistake????

 

Project Natal has voice recognition technology as well as the ability to project foward-backward movements on screen, but at the end of the day, it's fuction is still based on capturing a specific object via camera and simulating the shape's actions on the screen... which is what the Eyetoy did first.... which is the same in regards to the Wiimote and the Sony motion stick..... which means they copied each other.

Further more, I'd like to add that everyone copies each other. That's how technology works, you look at a previous invention and attempt to improve upon it inorder to try and make it better than before.

You can talk about the NXE interface, and i'll say Natal perfected realism with the Milo interactive clip. That was freaking amazing.

Ahem well I think this video sums up how I feel about microsoft and sony and their very similiar motion controllers...

 

Enjoy!

Console X Fan: Haha my console has a feature that your console doesn't! Sucks to be you because you can't do what I can LOL. Its a fun feature that makes my console so much more unique/better/fun than yours!

Console Y Fan: What a coincidence the makers of my console are now incorporating that cool feature that you have been raving about into my console so I can play games the same way

Console X Fan: YO WTF! STOP COPYING NO FAIR

Sony are just hypocrites. "Oh the Wii is just a gimmick" Look who is the gimmick now. Then some people were like oh the the Wii remote sucks. And when they announce the Sony motion controller the same people were like omg this is going to be amazing. If you hate Wii remotes you hate Sony remotes final.

I was actually quite impressed by the Sony remote, specifically the part with the skeletons where he used it as a sword, ninja stars and longbow. I would say that it actually impressed me more then the Wii Motion+ did. (which I will eventually be buying 4 of)

However, the PS3 stuff was just a tech demo and not releasing till the Spring, so we will have to see how it turns out. Also, there is the question of price and how many games will actually be made that use the technology.

I hope, now Ubisoft will port RED STELL 2 on PS3, that would be cool. =)
PS3 FTW!

Also, http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=74873 Sony already working on MOTION technolgies for a long time.
Those controllers are in developement for 3 years, way before Wii announcement. =]

and much of the waggle gimmick of the wii is copy of what sega had planed/tried for the DC, they just tried it to early.
