keyword is "seemed" anyone that cared to look into a little knows that not really the case. Sony had motion in there controller day one. How could they copy if it was there at launch the same time as Wii? You heard Sony copied? How? You mean to tell me that Sony put motion tech in their controller after seeing Wii in the same year it launched? That would be impressive on Sony's part. If Wii u was successful nothing. The pad isnt as innovative as motion control. Sony and MS wouldve continued cause there systems wouldve sold regardless.

Examples. Casue the real world would disagree.

When the Wii remote was shown, people were in awe. It was shown long before it debut, though.  That was back when Sony still had that "batarang" looking controller. At a later event, when they actually announced that it would be called "Wii", Sony showed their SIXAXIS controller and, according to G4, Nintendo was in trouble.

 

I'm sure I can find the announcement dates of I try.  Now, I'm pretty sure Sony had to be working on motion controls for a while but the way they unveiled it seemed a little foul.

 

*In fact, now that I think about it, I know they had been working on motion control for a while. Several videos appeared after Sony was accused of copying--I think some went back to the early ps2 days*

Ok I could concede to that. It was a little foul. Not gonna lie I completly forgot about the batarang controller. I agree that when Wii was showed that Sony and MS decided to put more emphasis on motion control than they would otherwise, you would have to be crazy to think different. BUT this whole Sony and MS copied is flat out wrong considering, Sony at least was already clearly working with motion tech, the devices dont even work the same. Move uses different tech than Wiimote.
