I can't believe you are serious. How about traditional nes control style? How about the ir camera that tracks 2 light sources, instead of just one on the PS mote? How about the size and portability of the wiimote, allowing it to be inserted into plastic guns and other peripherals, thereby offering multiple uses? How about energy saving through the nunchuk design? No need for more recharging. How about not having to wait for said controllers to recharge?
The real failure is that these competitors have literally done NOTHING new in their devices, despite having over 3 years to do something new. Use a camera? already done. Use voice control? Wii Speak. Use Avatars? hmm.
Sadly, i think you are genuinely convinced that Nintendo didn't out think all of you, and over 5 years ago too.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
