oh no I still say it's an evolution, pardon my bad writting :p, i see the merit of the move and the big advantage of tracking the object rather than the object tracking the TV. It is indeed a pretty big evolution.

we're not disagreeing on the object... just on the vocabulary =)

 

@ bolded: that's exactly where our conflict is. I say if any part is based on an other product, then the term rip off can be applied. You disagree. I doubt we'll change each other's minds.

to me, going from the idea of a ball on a stick being tracked by the camera to a ball on a wiimote is pretty much ripping off the wiimote. An argument is the navipad (or whatever it's called), an object that seems useless for 1/2 of the move games,  but an object needed to have wii like controls. They easily could have made the navipad hold a ball too... taking away the need to use 2 move controlers for some games, but that differed too much from the wiimote template I guess.

I see what you consider a rip off is pretty broad. I just hope that your consequent on this matter and say the same of any product fitting your description: "I say if any part is based on an other product, then the term rip off can be applied."

Still, I dont think it fits the meaning of each word to say it is evolutive as well as a rip off.

In any case, nous aurions pu avoir toute cette discussion en français ; ).
