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. |
Yeah, they copied the Wiimote by filing patents for the camera+wand controllers back in August 2005, and by having the EyeToy out in 2002.
Come on, both Nintendo and Sony have been working on such alternative control methods since 2000 at least. What Nintendo did that was really new was to make such controls central in the experience of their platform, rather then an accessory.
