Why can't Nintendo just sue Sony for imitation?

answer is simple: they didn't invent motion controllers....just because the shape is similar doesn't mean it uses the same tech and as far as I have seen the Move is much more responsive as well...so no they can't sue Sony and if they do they will lose easily.....

Huh? Much more responsive than what? Wii Motion Plus is 1x1, you can't have something better than 1x1. The "Move" is similar to the Motion Plus or worse, but it's impossible to be more responsive.

Ok so I HAVE played Wii games...plenty of times...but there are times the moment I move eve nthe slightest away from the range the whole game messes up....we already got testimony on how the camera can guess and act acording to sudden changes in movement in such situations...Wii just can't do that

You're talking about certain games losing IR connection if your point the Wii remote away from the IR bar.   While it is true that some games have this problem and can cause the in game camera to spaz out, not all games have this issue.  It's simply a coding problem.   Eventually developers wised up and wrote in a camera lock code to prevent the camera from careening out of control if the IR camera on the Wii remote was move from viewing range fo the IR lights on the IR bar.

When you add in Wii Motion Plus to the mix, it becomes completely irrelevant as you may point the Wii remote anywhere you like and the system tracks it perfectly.
