Wii fit, like a 20 yar old atari add on. DS touch screen, copy of a 15 year old handheld. 50th game with mario. Yahh real original. |
The technology in the balance board isn't even remotely similar to the add on from the Atari. The DS Touch Screen has been used in ways that weren't even imagined before it's time (it also combined a built in mic with that for many games).
Sony's history in gaming:
PSone: Up the graphics, new format.
PS2: Add the rumble that Nintendo had last generation, up the graphics, new format.
PSP: Copy the PS2's specs, lose an analog stick, add massive load times and horrible battery life. New format.
PS3: Add the Wireless controllers Nintendo had last generation, lose the rumble, up the graphics, new format, (try to) copy the motion control that Nintendo revealed more than a year earlier.
You sensing a pattern here? Up the graphics, add a new format, copy whatever your competitor did. There have been some amazing games on Sony systems (the PS2 has my second favorite library of games of all time), but to claim anything they have done is even remotely original (with the exception of the Eye of Judgement, which I think is one of the coolest things ever) is ridiculous. They have followed the same pattern that gaming has survived on for 20 years without EVER changing it. At least Nintendo had the balls to finally step up and change things.
