Not consoles. 4) There's so many ways, yet Sony decides to go exactly the Wiimote and nunchuk way. Coincidence? Epic no. |
You're needlessly confrontational, and not addressing the gist of my argumentation.
I'm talking of early eighties here. And for several years after the great console crash home computing meant mainstream gaming, especially in Europe. It was not a geeky minority, it was all there was to gaming and it's where the consoles had to restart from/compete against.
If all you saw is Nintendo, of course anything they did would look new to you. But gaming is -and was- a much bigger and varied world and Nintendo drew inspiration from the existing as much as anybody else, and rightly so.

thanks for another example, forgot about the 5200 and didn't really know much about the vectrex.
