| DixieKong said: Perhaps Miyamoto is concerned about the fact that once the competition gets motion controls, there will be less unique characteristics to set the current consoles apart from one another. This was pretty much the case with the last generation consoles. The Gamecube, Xbox, and Playstation 2 were very much alike and didn't have too many unique characteristics besides some exclusives. |
This. I guess this is Sony's and MS goal: filling the conceptual gap. Or better, filling the conceptual gap is the means they try to use to stop disruption. Once they have the capabilities, they can use them in multiple ways: actually releasing good games of new genres or subgenres or playing styles that aren't very present in the typical Nintendo range (this would be the fairest way), or just trying to grab a slice of the pie, or even overusing some best-selling Nintendo games concepts to make people fed up of them, and this could be the only intelligent, although unfair, reason for the totally uninspired trio of MS launch rip-off titles (particularly dumb if there isn't this purpose, as Natal-Kinect-Kii-Whatever was supposed to be different from Wiimote and used to find new ways to play).
