“With Wii, when we brought out motion controls and introduced that as a new idea in gaming, initially there were people who didn’t understand it. Three years later, our competitors both came out with their own motion control systems,” he said, referring to Xbox Kinect and Playstation Move.

maybe the fact the "copys" came so quickly was the fact that no one is actually copying nintendo but rather in fact trying to cash in after the success of the ipad. apple revolutionized the market -- the wii U is just another in a long line of knock-offs.

It's absolutely amazing how ignorant people are in here about gaming history. Nintendo was working with dual screen gaming way before there was such a thing as an iphone or ipad, before Sony ever tried it, before anyone ever really did it. Nintendo was already doing dual screen gaming, and the Wii U is a clear evolution of an idea, the gamecube-gameboy advance link, if you care to know anything at all. This was a decade ago, i'm assuming you don't know about it because most of you were in diapers back then, but look at the list of supported games on this wiki - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_GameCube%E2%80%93Game_Boy_Advance_link_cable

and sony was working on the Move long before nintendo every released a wii mote but nintendo fan assure me that doesn't matter and move is clearly a copy because the popularity of the application in the market is more important than when the idea was thought up.

besides, you're old enough remember the dreamcast...

and finally lolz@bold - if you profile is correct i'm the exact same age as you.  took you a while to potty train i take it? 

This is ultimately where the argument always lands, although by doing this is negates the Powerglove if we were somehow allow a non-Nintendo product to be credited to Nintendo. The Powerglove only sold ~10,000 units and had only (2) games designed for Powerglove only. The product also put the company making it into bankruptcy I believe.

Eyetoy I believe sold over 10M units on PS2, so by their own eventual definition it would make Sony come first for motion gaming on home consoles.
