JoRu said: Truth be told, they're still the most ballsy gaming hardware manufacturer in the business. Motion controls inspired Kinect which in turn inspired the design for Xbox One. Playstation Move was inspired by the Wiimote & Nunchuk... even more than "inspired". Kinect was more inspired by the EyeToy than by the Wii (motion tracking by camera, free hands). The Virtual Console inspired the digital distribution of old Xbox- and Playstation-titles on Xbox Live and PSN, which now is a huge selling point for Sony when it comes to what Playstation Now can offer. Emulation of old console/computer hardware on newer and more powerful devices or porting old games to new platforms was practiced decades. |
