SO HOW ELSE DO YOU MAKE AN ELECTRONIC WAND WITH A SPHERE ON TOP?

and to make it like a pointer you would need a nanlog stick of some sort.

GET over it people!

the simple truth

the Wii mote  is a "remote"

the nunchuck is a "little remote"

playstation Move is a "REMOTE"

playstation sub is "little REMOTE"

THEY ARE BOTH MODELED OFF OF THE

REMOTE

WHY?

BECAUSE THE PEOPLE THAT DESIGNED THE TECHNOLOGY BOTH USED WAND'S, BOTH SONY AND NINTENDO WAY BEFORE THE Wii an the PS3 was released was delving into THE SAME IDEA that a " Remote style of controller " was very good in it's design to controll interactive software.

notice DR. Marks used a wand with a freakin sphere on top even back in 2000' there is a reason, the technology  of the EYE TOY work's best with a colored sphere on top. a multi-colored sphere like a led that changes color can represent a muzzle flash, or rep. a paint brush to interact with the EYE TOY.

it's the freakin designer of the EYETOY he was using a wand, because that's the best way to use it.

even back in 2000'

once again  it's not a clone, not a rip off, not a duplicate.

 

How could they do it differently? Many ways. Sony, and apparently you, lack the small amount of imagination required to do so.

 

And since you've spelled out that you need to be spoon fed, I'll help you out just this once. Just three of the... similarities... in the design:

 

 

1. Two hands. Not surprising there. But take a closer look: the remotes are both in the right hands and the "nunchuks" are both in the left hands. They couldn't just switch it up, could they? No other way to do that? Not only this, but the finger positions are nigh-indentical. The Wii version has them spread out a little more... But hey! I'm not arguing semantics here!

 

2. Wrist strap. Truth be told, they need a wrist strap just as Nintendo does. The kicker here, though? The thin part of the strap coming of the remote, then the piece of plastic connecting it to the thicker portion, and yet another thicker piece of plastic to adjust the size of the strap.

 

3. White background. I'm sure you could argue here that they couldn't do it with any other color, but hey, what do we care about colors?

 

So remember, I'm not saying they copied the remote itself; I'm saying Nintendo's philosophy behind it is what Sony is copying. I really can't think of a way of spelling it out more for you.


Sony camera's have the same type of wrist straps for a long time i guess nintendo copied that. and they should have used a black background so you couldnt see the whole controller. there is no d pad on the sony want but there is a analog stick and a d pad on the sub controller when the wii nunchuch only has a analog stick. and in the old tech demos and interviews of Dr. Marks he specifically says a wand made of coat hanger with a bright ball on the end so i guess the sony controller should look like a car instead of a wand. I also think sony should stick to sixaxis for bowling i think high velocity bowling with the sixaxis is a much better way to bowl. wands are not good for bowling imo.
