I kinda agree with the article. The others have caught up or surpass the wii. It's one thing going for it is no longer unique.

MS has finally found a solution to rule the world. A "cctv" in the household that can recordrecognise your face and send the image to their databases. If the recent report of euro laws being pass to allow government officials to investigate the hard drive of any online PC ( this must be with MS's approval) are push through this year then be prepared for those images to end up in the governments database as well. Cool!

MS took nitendo's inovation (and PS2's eyetoy) and came up with a winning (e3) formula.
Kudos, if you are gonna copy something at least take it a step further.

Sony just copied Nintendo but announced some good games.

MS owned this E3 simply by creating a buzz. Brilliant.

The big loser will be/is Nintendo.

The problem with the controllers for Sony and Microsoft is that we do not know if they work as advertised. Their shows were little more than informercials that are used to sell their product and get marketing. We need to wait until we get more hands on impressions of the technology. We already have hands on impressions from Journalist like IGN  and others and also from developers at EA and Ubisoft to know that Wii motion plus works as advertised. In an article from a uK newspaper, posted on VGchartz, Microsoft stated that their demos were visions and the actual product may vary, meaning that it may work as well as demostrated or it may not. They've also hired Johnny Lee to make sure that what was demostrated on stage is actually how the product will eventually work. By hands on impressions we also know that Milo does not quite match what was demostrated on stage.

For Sony, there has been not hands on impressions of their controller. They say it is one to one but how do we know? Does the Eye Toy
Camera sense one to one movement? No. Then is there some sort of technology at work in the Wand? Yes. Then what is the technology and again how does it calculate one to one movements? There are so many questions for these new technologies that questions need to be ask before we proclaim them as the second coming. Also this is why good Journalism is dying. They sensationlize and then ask the pertinent questions later.
