People keep saying that Sony had the motion tech before Nintendo and MS but actually no one knows if this is true. The reason I say this is because I have seen a clip of MS doing motion on a green screen PC which had to be in the late 80's.

The thing is, all of these companies have research departments and a lot of the stuff that goes on there we never see. The only difference is who can bring that tech to the market first. Nintendo showed MS and Sony that there is a huge market for what both companies where researching. No one will never know if Sony or MS would have ever pulled the trigger but what we do know that without Nintendo, neither Sony or MS knew how strong that market is.

So to answer the question, Yes Sony and MS is copying Nintendo, Sony more than MS since Sony is playing it very safe with their design and functionality.
