is anybody gonna look past this whole "sony is copying nintendo" thing and actually try to enjoy the playstation move. its kind of repetitive and annoying when people say that sony is copying nintendo. do they know how much innovating sony did ever since they entered the videogame business. in my opinion i dont think its fair to sony that people look at the whole stupid sony is copying nintendo thing than look at the quality of the playstation move. just wanted to say what i thought

Unfortuneatly not. People are too comfortable with the idea that playstation move is a copy, because thats what their first impression was. People are not willing to change their mind about the peripheral's originality, even though in truth the product has been in the making since 2004 and a patent for a "wand" controller was made in 2005, a few months before the announcement of the wii. Sony didn't copy. They were just late. Same with microsoft. They didn't copy the eyetoy. They just bought the company (or the product) that made natal.

I don't think copy is the right word to describe this motion control trend. I think follow is a more suited word to describe this. Motion is just a method for the experience. Just like hd, 3d, online, etc. 

 

What they had since 2004 was a light being tracked by eye toy camera, not a full motion controller like the Wiimote, which got blatantly copied, but people will slowly leave the denial phase.

no..that's not true at all:

as a matter of fact the playstation wand development started in 2000 after Marks started at Sony in 1999

and there was already a patent on a wand type device by 2005, well before Nintendo even showed the Wand . both nintendo and Sony were working on the same IDEA at the same time, Nintendo just released first.

which make's the Idea that one copied the other pointless and moot.

This will most probably will fall on deaf ears (or eyes lol) sadly

the problem is people like to bring up the ..but what about the nunchuck, the problem with even that the patent that was filed in 2004 also list's that such a second device to control direction was also in the patent. using 2 or a wand like device to attain such control.

both Nintendo and Sony had their respective patent's on such control system's the fact that Nintendo's origional patent in 2003 was not anythink like Sony's for motion control's but both offered control system's for motion control system's.

their patent's are not the same and how they are used in conjunctiion with their motion control technology.

like i stated and each patent show's they were both working on motion control scheme's at the same time. just Nintendo released their's first.
