Will Ninty lose the war if Sony & M$ develop similar or better controller?

[theRepublic]

It doesn't matter if they copy the controller. The controller has only been a part of Nintendo's plan.

The real answer has been the software. Nintendo has aimed more accessible software at a wider demographic than their competetion. A new controller will not change the fact that Sony and Microsoft have aimed their products at a high-end user, with high-end complicated software. They have ignored the mainstream user in favor of the fringe market, and there is no turning back now. It is too late.

Simply put, Sony and Microsoft don't have the games that the mainstream market wants, so the controller will not change a thing.
