Since when has R&D, tech Demo's ever count as a true product release?  It's like saying I had the idea for Windows, iPhone etc but I never got around distributing it!!! It's just lame, and besides Nintendo had been working on motion control pre-2001 as seen in their investment and collaboration with gyration inc which they had purchased a small minority share in during that tim "Unearthed: Nintendo's Pre-Wiimote Prototype". Gizmodo  so all that bull about Sony doing motion control before Nintendo is just that...all bull.  Even if Sony was researching motion control before Nintendo (they didn't)  R&D never accounts to anything unless they ACTUALLY RELEASE THE PRODUCT!!!  Just look at the hybrid cars right now Prius is known to mainstream as the first hybrid even though the Big 3 had the blu=print to the technology as Toyota had the kahuna's to release it first!!!


Sony started working on motion contorller in 2001, go look up on youtube and stop trolling


Oh my...please READ MY POST BEFORE RANTING LIKE A LUNATIC, and all will be clear!!!  Nintendo "RELEASED" it's motion tech which they had been working on pre-2001 in 2005-2006 a whold FIVE years before Sony released their copy the Playstation Move. Tech demo's R&D doesn't count unless you release the product therefore Sony imitated/followed Nintendo's footsteps in motion gaming!!!  Also regarding the Move being a bit more accurate, I certainly hope so as it would suck for Sony to release a copy/imitation of a Nintendo's tech with no improvements 5 years after Nintendo released their version!!!


I never said Sony released their motion controller before Nintendo, i said they started working on it on about the sime time nintendo started working on thier motion controller. Which means they already had an idea of motion controller and had plans to release it. Just because nintendo relesed it first doesnt mean they got the idea first. And since Sony already worked on their motion controller for awhile now, theiy released thier motion controller that THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON SINCE 2001, the same time Nintendo started working on their MC. Why dont YOU read my post before ranting like a lunatic???


Actually to be more precise they released their motion control concept plus added Nintendo's motion control concept (gyroscope, accelerometers etc) 5 years after Nintendo released theirs.  Sony only had camera tracking as motion control during that time!!!
