I think M$ and Sony toyed with motion controller, when designing their current consoles, but ultimately opted to forgo it, and focus on more horsepower to graphics and traditional features. I'll be totally honest that the first time I heard about Nintendo's Revolution...I thought it was going to end up worst off than GameCube. Nintendo took a massive chance, and it paid off royally, and I do think the success of Wii helped push M$ and Sony down this path, but it's pretty evident that they had already been working on some of this before it was announced. Here’s the thing of it…the original Xbox launched with networking standard…so Wii and PS3 are just copycatting? Hardly…Id launched the first huge FPS, but it’s silly to say all FPS are “aping” Wolfenstein.
