Copying Nintendo controls is already embarrassing enough, but this is absolutely insane.

 

 

 

Get real kid. Nintendo didn't invent it.

They came up with the design and implementation, so how didn't they invent it?

Sony fans, I love you, but you're the kings of spin.

Nintendo did not invent motion controls.

Move has the same design, so? What people fail to realize in this industry is, companies use other ideas from other companies.

Sony was the first to design dual-analog controllers, Nintendo did it, so did Microsoft.

Do you see anyone getting butthurt over it?

Oh yes, I'm very butthurt. In fact I have a PS3 and it was expensive enough without Move.

It's not motion controls, it's a motion controller. Big difference.

 

The design and implementation is virtually the same with a few tweaks. Please stop arguing that, it's pathetic. I have better things to do than discussing the blueness of the sky and so does everybody else.

(Edited away for being a prick:)

Given the success of the Wiimote, and the fact that Sony had a similar product ready, isn't it just common sense to put that product on the market? Should they have chosen not to just because they weren't first this gen? It doesn't matter if you call it copying or not. And please stop saying you have better things to do when you're arguing just to argue.

Also, and I find this to be somewhat important, it's an add on.

I'm not arguing at all. The person said Nintendo had no part in inventing it, so to speak.

This stuff is backfiring on Sony only because it keeps getting denied.. if like the DS1 and DS2 they had just built it because it made sense and given credit where it's due, most people wouldn't have a problem with it or even give it a lot of attention. For all the crap he said, Kutaragi used to regard Nintendo highly and I don't think he'd deny borrowing an idea from them..

Plus, don't forget Sega was the first to get Nintendo's implementation of the analog stick on their controllers, and they did get quite some criticism for it.
