Why can't Nintendo just sue Sony for imitation?

I'll say this again. You can only patent a method, not an idea.

Wii Remote and Nunchuk, Wand and nunchwand(?) doesn't look veeeeeeeeeeeeeeery similar methods?

Oh yes they do. 

the thing that differentiates them is that the Arc doesnt relay the data via BlueTooth, like the Wii controls do. Its also a seperate system of motion detection. So theoretically, while it may look similar, it wont respond similarly.

 

What I question is how through motion camera detection, a thumbstick would work. Since all the data would be relayed via movement (or thus infringe on Nintendo's bluetooth data method in its system (no I know nintendo doesnt own bluetooth tech)),  the way to move forward and backwards with a motion camera would be to move that full arm that way.

I want to see the final product already and end the conjecture!
