sony talked shit about nintendo's "gimmicky" motion controls for almost 3 years
suddenly motion controlls are the future?

that is hypocrisy and that is slightly annoying

about all this talk of cartriges and CDs, correct me if im wrong, but i dont recall nintnedo calling CDs a "gimmick" and a "fad".

Of course N didn't call CD a fad or gimmick since CD were out  and a success before Playstation.

so why then is it being brought up in a thread that has turned into a discussion about hypocrisy?

Someone changing their mind or plan does not mean hypocrisy. If someone says they believe black horses wins more races and continues to lose money on betting on black horses then finally after losing millions decides to bet on a white horse they are not hypocrites.


no they are not, but this is assuming that this "someone" didn't go around and talk shit about the white horse for 3 years. if he did, then yes. he is indeed a hypocrite.

Sony AND (many of) the fans spent 3 years calling the wii a "gimmick" and a "fad" and that it "wouldn't last". obviously it was a success.  for sony and (many of) it's fans to now be calling motion controls the future after mocking it for years is hypocrisy, plain and simple.
