The only thing more pathetic than Sony's shameless Move, is the spin in this thread. Sony copied Nintendo straight out, it's basically the same product. Just like they slapped on analog sticks after Nintendo figured out how to do it right, and the same thing with rumble. I don't understand how people can seriously try to debate this.

I don't care if technically there are a few differences, they achieve the same goal and are used the same way. Even the games look like Wii knock-offs. Sorry guys, just admit that your favorite company shamelessly ripped off another idea, again. People trying to defend Sony will just make things worse, you will only make people hate them even more.

again for the misinformed go read my thread mini games, like the sports one existed on ps2 way before the wii, Sony did not copy the Wii, they just styled their controller to look too much like the wiimote, which admittedly is irritating, but honestly, how else could you make it different, Even Natal which uses some new technology, copies from the original eye toy

It's not annoying.  It's smart to style it like the Wiimote.

They also added Acclerometers to track angles which they previously weren't going to do.  Originally all this work being done on the Sony motion controllers were going to have very specific and simple applications.

The general idea sony "took" from Nintendo was that these controls can be applied to more then just simple child like games, but can be used in regular serious full fledged games and can actually draw more people in with it.

 

They aren't copying the technology, they're copying the design philosphy... which is just called good buisness.
