I agree with all of your points except that Nintendo creates everything first and Sony/MS copy them. Not true at all.

Sony was first to dual-joysticks (the basis of every modern controller besides the Wiimote) and also first to motion controls if you count sixaxis. Correct me if I'm wrong but Sixaxis was patented before the wii-mote. Of course the PS Move is a blatant copy of Wiimote but for motion controls in general Sony was before Nintendo (correct me if I'm wrong there).


I was kiddding! Maybe I should edit that post and add an "lol!" or "j/k" or something.  You weren't the first to take me seriously on that one.  I  do think motion was added to the SIXAXIS immediately aftervthe Wii Remote was finally revealed in '05 but I don't want to go looking up patents or anything.  Eyetoy came long before and so did the powerglove (nes), Acitvator (genesis), powerpad (nes), u-force (nes), and a few others that i don't feel like listing right now.

haha I forgot about the power glove and shit like that!
