Kenryoku_Maxis said: In short, when Nintendo does it, its a gimmick and a mark for those wh othink they're 'hardcore' gamers to make fun of. But when Microsoft or Sony comes out with a similar device on their own systems, those same people have to defend it because its on their favorite system and 'one upped' Nintendo. |
To be fair, the Wii was aimed at the casual audience, Hardcore PS3 360 gamers saw the whole console as a gimmic, the Sony/MS motion controls are aimed at the casual end of Hardcore.
E.G. We have Resident Evil coming out for Sony's motion controller, when the Wii launched, you had those little cartoon dudes to play tennis with.
I think this is more about presentation than people simply having a bias (though I am sure most people do have a bias, myself included)
