There really isn't going to be a"motion cotrol war." Nintendo won't allow that. They have been trying to avoid the red ocean with the Wii, and they're not going to let Sony change that. By the time the Move and Kinect really get going,  Nintendo will simply move on to new technologies like the Vitality Sensor, 3DS, and whatever new quirk the next Nintendo console has. I think Nintendo has learned from the red ocean wars of the Super NES, N64, and Gamecube. Any time Sony or MS tries to copy them, they will probably just move on and make something else, at which point that new thing will be emulated, and the circle of life repeats.

Do you just like, conveniently forget about past gens, where Sony dominated generations and how Nintendo even came 3rd last gen? You seem to think Nintendo is impenetrable.

One day you're going to get a nasty wake up call.

You've just proved my point even further as to why Nintendo wants to avoid the red ocean. When they get in the red ocean with the bigger companies, Sony and MS, and try to beat them at their own game so to speak, they always lose (N64 Gamecube, almost SNES). What they excel in is going their own direction (NES, Wii), which is why they won't allow themselves to be caught up in that again.

I don't see how you gathered from my post that Nintendo was always dominant... Quite the opposite.

Your whole post just stinks of spin. Nintendo had no choice but to do the Wii, if they did a core console they'd have likely done worse than the Gamecube. Correct me if I have this wrong, but you seem to think Nintendo live and breath innovation? Where was that inovation during the Gamecube era, or when the PS1 beat whatever console was up against it?

You just speak like you think Nintendo have owned the gaming scene since they entered, they havn't, they're capable of faltering again and at some point will. They have the least loyal audience this gen despite having the largest userbase, and unless they pull another Wii out of the bag again, they're in the most dangerous position.

Everyone, and you, seem to be so sure Nintendo have another Wii up their sleeve, and then again after that.
