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.


I know that this is a silly argument and all but... the almighty Power Glove says hi.


it is a silly argument but i don't think the power glove really adds to the silly arguement.  i'm not saying that sony invented motion controls - they didn't.  all i'm say is that: yes - the move and the wii-mote have a very very very similar design  but the mere fact that we have product demonstartions that pre-date anything nintenodo did proves 100% that move was not invented as a direct response to the wii ergo not a direct copy.  

...now the fact it was held onto for so long without a release is enough evidence to me that move never would have been brought to market if it were not for the wii's success.

but for fucks sake - sony was already talking about NPG/ps3 interactivity for games before the wii U was announced last year.  but now that they wii U is announced somehow sony is spun up as just a copy cat for following through on their ideas...
