Nintendo is the only one in the room displaying leadership and innovation.

Ok, I've heard a lot of bitching today. Sony copies what everyone is doing and improves it by a slight degree. They have been doing that for 15 years. There is absolutely no room for debate in that.

Now, Nintendo. Putting a tablet and APPLYING IT TO A VIDEOGAME console could be considered the innovation here; mainly because it has never been done before. But, before I confuse myself, lets define 'innovation'.

'Innovation differs from invention in that innovation refers to the use of better and , as a result, novel idea or method, whereas invention refers more directly to the creation of the idea or method itself.'

With that in mind, I guess Sony neither invented nor innovated. Maybe it is better to say Nintendo invented motion control with Wii, and invented tablet function in a console. Sony thought about Move and did not act on it for 10 years until Nintendo grew a pair of balls and risked it all first by having motion as the premier incentive for their console.

That first link is a bit of a serious stretch for what you are trying to prove here.

The second link involves motion...but not with remote. The DS being an advanced 1980 Game & Watch, that make sense! The 2nd vid in relation to Wii...not really.

None of those things went mainstream as far as I know. If they did, they didn't last long. 3DS could technically be called a suped-up Virtual Boy, but why acknowledge it copying a certain product if the one it was copied from failed? The cherry pick is impressive but uh, I can't really concede here.
