they are so copying nintendo EVEN THOUGH THEY FUCKING HAD THE SAME TECH IN 2004, they are still copying nintendo.
My take on it, if it wasn't for nintendo sony wouldn't have released move, but MOVE is not a copy, since it was in development since will before the wii was even shown in public |
I hate to sound like a dick but..
Did Sony ever bundle it with every console?
Fact is Nintendo took the risk and succeded now Sony and MS watch a piece of the motion control market. Both MS and Sony are copying Nintendo in there own ways.
Sure Natal is different, but its gonna compete with Wii mote.
The PS mote might be a complete copy but its better than the basic Wii mote which is a huge plus (No pun intended)

But again, Nintendo took the tech primarily from Sony's piggy bank. Did Nintendo come up with the creative idea for it? Did Nintendo fund a good portion of the groundwork for the project? In most cases, no they didn't. So while MS / Sony are trying to replicate the Wii's success or steal some of it's thunder, even Nintendo is guilty of copying in this regard.

The Idea of motion controls have been around since the 1980's.

It's not just the idea for it. It's the idea for interface, idea for everything revolving around it. Sony did not come up with all of these either. Neither did Nintendo. That's the whole point.
On a simplistic sense, Sony came up with the technology for the Wand first which Nintendo copied. Nintendo came up with the risky idea of trying it as a main form of control for their system which Sony is now copying by providing an option to use motion controls.
People making a big issue out of this are Nintendo fanboys or people trying to create drama/issues where there is none. This type of thing happens constantly in this industry.

Did anyone else bundle it succesfully like Nintendo has done?
No one has been more succesfull than Nintendo with the Wii.
If the Wii had never launched then PS mote nor Natal would be coming out.
