Dancing on a mat to control a game seems like motion control to me.  A quick google search shows that the internet agrees with me:

I brought up the Power Pad specifically because it's NOT anything like the Wii-mote or Move.  The Eyetoy, Power Glove, Power Mat, anything else, are nothing like the Wii-mote or the Move.  That's the point.  They're all VERY different controllers.  However, the Move is exactly like the Wii-mote.  Sony released a copy of the Wii-mote after seeing how successful it was.  Why is that hard for you to accept? 


Hopefully in your quick google search you found out that Power Pad was developed by Bandai and not NIntendo, making your entire point completly moot. Also, it has a pressure sensors, which basicially makes it just a gian game pad. Its just that you use your foot instead of your thumb to press the buttons. By that logic, every controller can be considered a motion controller.

And Wii Mote is exactly like the controller Sony had 5 years before Wii launched. So its actually Nintendo copying someone else !?!?!?! What a shocking concept to grasp...


Yes... developed by Bandai, produced by Nintendo.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_Entertainment_System_accessories

The Wii-mote is nothing like the eyetoy.  I can't even believe you are trying to make that leap.  If it was the same, then Sony would not have felt the need to create the Move.  Why did they feel the need to create the move again?  Oh yeah, Nintendo was taking their marketshare with the Wii-mote.  Feel free to rewrite history though.  I certainly wouldn't want you to feel bad that your favorite company saw an incredibly successful device, and tried to capitalize on it by making their own.  That is what companies do after all, but never your 'precious' company.  Clearly Sony could never be inspired by the incredible success of a competitor...  -.-

I'm honestly not sure if you're trolling, but it's clear that you're beyond reason, so good luck with things.
