Playstation Move: or how else would we have made the controller?

Look, we fully understand that the finished 'Wand' is not a complete copy of the Wiimote. But it doesn't mean they didn't create it to try to grab a piece of the pie that Nintendo put out on the Window still.

And second of all, people aren't trying to say Sony's Want isn't going to have unique features. But it does look pretty ridiculous. I mean, it looks more like a 'Bop it' toy than a controller.  This from the company that joined Microsoft in trying to downplay Nintendo's system as being 'just a toy'.  And if you remember, more than a few Sony fans were knocking the Wiimote not that long ago.

not any moreso than those very same Nintendo fans knocking  Blu-Ray or the price of the PS3 ,sixaxis or pretty much anything about the PS3 like the PS3 had no Game's.

no matter what they all had people talking smack.

that still does not change the fact.

 the point is Its not  Copy , they both already had the same IDEA, Nintendo decided to release the technology first, Sony could have but they chose not too becuase the Higher up's did not think it would go over as well as it has. most likely because with what happened with the eyetoy support last time.

I am not saying that Nintendo did not do a great thing by releasing the motion controll's,

Some AT SONY Did not think it was Viable not all at Sony though. thought that way

that's why Sony did not Copy it.

they did not need too

already Like Nintendo they already HAD it .

the very fact back in 2005 they even had a  patent is proof of this , Nintendo showed off their remote 2 month's after sony had a patent on a playstation wand.

can sony sue Nintendo..no

can Nintendo sue Sony...no

why?

because even their design's are at the very core designed like a standard everyday TV remote

I'd just like to point out that, from my perspective, its moreso the 'other' types of 'fans' that were knocking the PS3 about having 'no games' or 'blu ray' and such.  Not 'Nintendo fans'.  Why would Nintendo fans be bringing up stuff about Blu Ray when the Wii doesn't even have a movie based format in its system (something the Wii was also mocked for early on)?  And I personally didn't see many 'Nintendo fans' pointing fingers at the PS3 claiming it had 'no games'.  Especially since people were claiming the same thing about the Wii in its first 2 years.

Finally, and this isn't really to upstage you or anything, but while the Eyetoy and stuff was an early form of motion, Nintendo did have even earlier forms of camera based technologies on the market and in patents before it (Game Boy Camera anyone?).  And while Sony may have had a patent out for a motion controller before the Wiimote, they weren't the first.  There were actual motion controllers for stand alone on the market years before the Wiimote AND Sony's patent.  Such as the Dragon Quest motion control sword ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenshin_Dragon_Quest:_Yomigaerishi_Densetsu_no_Ken ) and even earlier motion devices in arcades.
