Welcome to 2006.

Actually I think this is a good time to bring this issue up. It seems to me that Microsoft and Sony (to a lower extent) fell into a trap, investing in their motion control technologies and pushing them out too early.

It seems to me that Microsoft is rushing their impressive tech out of the door without regard to its real usability for games (and practicality, do they really expect us to reorganize our living rooms so that a camera can see our whole body?), while Sony is playing catch up with a copy of Wii MotionPlus functionality. They might have done better by keeping their motion stuff internal until their next console.

Now Nintendo knows perfectly well where their competitors stand, and will likely one-up them again in the next generation. More importantly, Nintendo seems to make the games and the hardware at the same time, ensuring their development plays well together (something I suspect MS and Sony aren't doing to a great extent).
