Are we talking about if Sony/MS came out with the controls FIRST? If first, I think Sony or MS would of been given a huge advantage - Sony could of more readily justified their pricetag, and MS would of had a huge advantage as well. IMO, there are things about the Wiimote controls that can, and could be bettered by MS/Sony in the future, if they really cared to do it. What things? As far as my understanding is, the sensor bar only detects a certain range of movement. I think MS/Sony could put out a system that doesn't have that issue...Maybe multiple sensor bars that are less intrusive, and allow for much greater freedom, and possibly more refined and stylish. Ultimately, I think the Wiimote will become the console's mouse. Something that everything has. But I do believe that at some point though, it'll live in tandem with traditional controls, and far moreso on the 360/PS3 than the Wii. |
There is one problem with that theory, and it all goes back the ´Simpsons did it´ episode of South Park. Nintendo is the only original gaming company still kick´n, and if it wasnt for Sony jumping to CD´s before Nintendo, Nintendo would have never lost their sempremacy. People buy what they are used to unless a competitor makes a sinificant change and/or improvement that tears the consumer away. Well, geuss what? Nintendo just got that back, and now MS and Sony have no choice but to move with the times as well (because its hard to deny that there is no improvment they could really make without doing something different, although not necasarily what Nintendoes) When MS and Sony release their next console (along with Nintendo) with all 3 having motion-sensitivity, everyone will be more comfortable with Nintendo, because ´NINTENDO DID IT, NINTENDO DID IT.´ So MS and Sony have to make their first, so even if it is better than the CURRENT wiimote, it wont matter. Nintendo already know what they are doing, and can make bigger, more solid and higher quality motion-sensitive controller. They know how it works, whats wrong with it, and whats right about it, and they have a fun little thing known as a pattent. hehe
A delayed game is good someday, a bad game is bad forever.
