Yeah, do you know how much of the industry is copying some other guy. Nintendo didn't invent motion controls, or else it'd make BILLIONS selling the technology. Heck most of Nintendo's originality dried up in the 90's. What's left of it is whats coming out of Miyamoto's head.. |
I'm sorry, if originality doesn't come out of your chief designer's head, exactly where would it come from? A Cracker Jack box? It doesn't matter whether or not Nintendo invented motion control; they had the vision to use it. Did Microsoft invent HD television?
Where ever originality comes from, MS and Sony could use some since instead of originality, this generation they just threw raw processing power and pixel count at the same old games. This is evidenced by their inability to grow their customer base and by this pathetic scramble to copy a technology, but not the philosophy behind it, which they don't actually understand or believe in. That's why they took a technique whose whole beauty is simplicity and the immersion from intuitive natural movement and tried to make it a part of the same old controller (Sony) or as a brand new incredibly fugly monstrosity that offers neither simplicity or natural intuitive movement.
It's sad how incredibly easy MS and Sony make it for Nintendo to completely confound and humble them. If they want to turn things around, they are going to have to do a hell of a lot better than this.
