Alright so I guess this video which has been posted a GAZILLION TIMES, has nothing to do with sony and motion gaming? I mean they did start the eye toy motion sensing experience..

 

 

PS MOVE has very different and unique features that the wii doesn't have.. to saying it's a complete rip off and offers nothing to the gaming world is ignorant.

If we want to walk that road, Nintendo did it first with GB Camera. You know very well, leo, Sony would never have the balls to make motion controls a main course for any of its consoles. As a company, they watch the market, see what goes well, copy and improve it. There's nothing wrong that, just give credit where's due.

It wasn't a main course, but it was in development well beforehand.. the wii obviously forced them to unleash MOVE, but you can't say SONY never thought of motion gaming beforehand..

edit: Also, why don't people give credit to sony for the disc format for consoles? I mean NINTENDO started using a disc format with Gamecube, after sony's PS1 sucess.. yet nobody mentions that. BUT OFCOURSE WHEN SONY IS DOING SOMETHING SIMILAR TO NINTENDO it is mentioned and painted on to these forums as if it is blasphemy. Ive been on this site since it started, and I know people too well.

@bold: OK, that was the point I was trying to make. Of course Sony would've ventured into motion controls (every self-respecting technology company should look into these things), but they'd never take this road if it wasn't for Nintendo.

@rest: In fact, Sony was beat by both SEGA and Atari regarding CD implementation. And it was so painfully obvious optical media was the future. Nintendo was plain stupid to have sidestepped that.

And implementing an optical media to your platform is by no means unprecedented like Nintendo did. Sony is always at the technological edge, they work like that (see 3D, it's technology, not a breakthrough). Nintendo's pillars are innovation and fun.
