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*

You know, I saw that video from G4 about Ninten being in trouble just recently. That was a pretty funny comment from them.. xD+`

Why would it be hard to believe? Unless people willfully ignore the fact that the PS2 had a motion control device prior to WIi even being revealed. ANd the eyetoy for ps3 was available from the jump
True, but we arent average people so we know better, at least I hope

Well, I did just mention the same people who announced the six axis as something innovative also dismissed a similar that was presented to them before Nintendo. D21lewis is right though, the way the presented it does look like they were following Nintendo, even if they were working on similar ideas too. Nintendo presented it in a way that appealed to people, and the Move looks more like they were following Nintendo.
And, when I saw the move, I thought it looked like Sony following Nintendo as well. So who knows, maybe gamers feel the same as well.
