that's a bit of difference beetween motion controls and 3D.
As for 3D, it's not like sony and nintendo copying one another, they're just following the new entertainment standards. We have seen a new dawn of 3D movies in cinemas, after than all TV manifacturers started developing 3D televisions (not only sony), now we see sony and nintendo adopting it (not inventing it) as the natural flow of things in the industry. The same thing happened for HD consoles, HD content were alredy avaliable in some selected cinemas, in some pay TV channels, there were already 2 developing supports (blu-ray and HD-dvd) it's not like sony or microsoft have invented it.
As for motion controls, it's true that the whole concept of motion controls wasn't made by Nintendo, but for sure what Nintendo has done was going agaist the natural developing flow of the industry (wich was going towards HD), creating a whole console based on the motion controls idea, changing in fact the path of the industry development (we would not have seen Move or Natal without the wiimote before), that's why someone can say that sony "copied" nintendo. They have followed a new path that wouldn't have existed without nintendo, at least not this soon.
