Do you, Sony and Microsoft see a future in Motion Control?

ok well lets agree to disagree, im saying nintendo built upon old technology and so there for no one can claim nintendo to be the creator of the d pad and you are saying that nintendo created the modern day d pad with the cross hair shape and so they deserve to be given the honour of creating the modern day d pad, which i completly agree with, but i still stand on the fact that nintendo did not create the first directional thumb based input device, there were predecessors that developed the concept of using the thumb to press directions. If u look at the way a modern day D pad actually works ull be suprised that it still follows the circular concept except you have extruded 'buttons' off this circular shape that your thumb presses instead of a smooth disk. For an example of this circle happening outside of the controller shell just look at the x box d pad, same circle but with the bits extruded for better cross directional gripping edit *Nintendo created a new look to the directional input decive, but underneath it all it was driven by the same concept of the intellivision directional disk. so i agree that the appearance of it on the outside (except for x box) was changed by nintendo and over the years the technology has increased to allow for better d pads. but ultimatly we are still using the same style of pad as the intellivision it just looks different and feels better
