Miyamoto clearly stated that the idea of a Wiimote came about during the NES era and they worked on the technology since then realising they couldn't implement it well in the 90's. The technology has been in developement for a decade. he said it and you believed it.....................lamo the same way SONY said the MOVE was idealized in PS2 era.What they mean is that they had a concept and along the time they got the final product Nintendo alsways makes cheap platforms.... lol the GameCube cost a mint to make and the N64 was state of the art costing hundreds to manufacture when it was released. Sony makes a single expensive state of the art machine and suddenly Nintendo only makes cheap machines? GameCube was far superior to the PS2 and the N64 was far superior to the PSOne. Nintendo chose to go cheap with the Wii, one time and you want to say Nintendo always does....seriously thats purposterous! by expensive i don't mean the price of PS3 or the console itself but the leap taken from 1 generation to another. my point was that Nintendo didn't take any leap from GC to Wii. yes N64 was superior to PS1 but it wasn't much difference.ity was just what tech was at that time i am just saying that Nintendo doesn't do as much R&D as SONY. do you really think when MS and SONY like heavyweights are there in the industry,Nintendo will take risks that are expensive. The same way Sony got the idea for Move? You seriously think that Sony's R&D teams were working on Move prior to Nintendo's reveal? You think Sony came up with the idea in a lab before Nintendo pioneered the technology. lol...lol...LOL... Sony took four years to bring the Move to the market after Nintendo released the Wiimote. If Sony was indeed working on said technology before Nintendo they would have had the product on shelves way quicker. like i said they got it along the lines but not at first the same like NIntendo and Wii. SONY didn't intend to use the tech as they didn't think it was the future but when Wii got the attention because of PS3's high price,they brought in the TECH do you really think Nintendo would have gone with Wii if they were dominating in the PS2 era.no they wouldn't have It doesn't really matter why Nintendo had their own formats does it? It still costs millions in R&D to develope those formats. Yes they may have done it to avoid paying royalties but Nintendo also did it to combat piracy etc...etc... But again as I said it doesn't matter why they did it it still cost alot in R&D. oh now it doesn't matter but first you were claiming they had their own awesome formats combat PIRACY.......................hehe they did that very well as we can see their consoles pirated but you were claiming their formats before to be of an achivement The 3D screen during the GameCube era, that would have cost money to develope and it must have been their since Nintendo seriously considered selling the screen. That technology was adopted to the 3DS all these years later. As for the other devices, infrared seriously you think the vitality sensor and balance board use only infrared and that makes them cheaper to develope. Seriously who's the one talking out of their ass. if NINTENDO sold 3D screens themselves in GC era,with the super high price of those screens they would go bankrupt Rescent estimates (2008) claim Nintendo was that year spending 370-million dollars on their how console devision R&D. Nintendo is spending more and more and more on R&D. Think about it combined 500-mill a year every two years is a billion dollars. yes they are doing that now cause they have the money but would they be doing it normally,no they wouldn't be. and still after losing SONY would be spending more and maybe MS but they are mainly marketing and pushing their console Yes Sony's cell may have cost 2-billion to make but Nintendo spends that in two years too if not more. Now you say thats not including all the stuff Sony is not telling us. Well the same can be said for Nintendo we don't know everything they have been developing either. Nintendo didn't spend that much in the GC but only now as they have money.and SONY is still doing it even after being in 3rd place.just don't think if SONY did R&D in PS2 era for PS3 they wouldn't do it now year over year SONY will be at the top Seriously mighty Sony may have more costs due to being an entertainment monopoly sure they may take losses in their movies and music divisions. But they do not spend all that much more then Nintendo does on R&D. Since neither company reveals their full R&D costs its hard to tell who is spending more. you are kidding yourself when saying SONY do not spend more on R&D then Nintendo.yes they don't reveal it but SONY still profits like in PS1 and PS2 era even with alot of R&D in their labs You tell me I'm talking out my ass, dude your looking in a mirror. Yes Sony spends alot on R&D but Nintendo spends alot too and you can't claim Sony did so badly just because of R&D when Nintendo has never been in the red and spends that same at least 2-billion every four years. i didn't say SONY did so badly because they did very well but i was just saying when in PS1 and PS2 era,their profits were just below Nintendo profits and that could easily have been more than Nintendo without R&D and Nintendo were never in RED as they didn't spend much in PS1 and PS2 era when they were just surviving on Handheld.ig they did use the handheld profits then they could easily would have been in the RED. Also keep in mind the cell wasn't just developed for the PS3 but for computers and other devices in Sony's arsonal. Also it was made with help from other companies who helped Sony with R&D its not like Sony developed the chip all alone and for the PS3 only. yes it was with the help of other companies but that was just the original TECH but SONY's R&D covers PS products optimised chips.Like the CELL processor in PS3 is clearly for the PS3 Neither of us know what Sony and Nintendo spent this year or what they are all working on but I can guarantee that Sony isn't outpacing Nintendo by all that much. ATM Nintendo is investing as they are succesfull this GENERATION but can they do the same when they are strugling in 2nd or 3rd place like in PS1 and PS2 era.they conserved in those times and if their handheld profits wents then doomsdays upon them as they couldn't invest at the same amount in R&D like they are now
