microsoft copied avatars, :p and dreamcast had online before them

omg sony made a "console" they copied nintendo, and nintendo copied atari yara yara yara.

-_-

OMG, Sony is hilarious right now

Love how they had to take everything they said, and shoved it really deep in their ....

they aren't imitating nintendo.. SONY have been working on this tech since WAYYY before the wii was even announced..

NINTENDO has influenced there decision to put into gaming though, Im sure they never wanted to make it a full peripheral, because the eye toy didnt really take off like the wii did

Holy shit, hopefully we can get some proper lightsaber fights now!

Wow never saw this video before.. its arc with out six axis

While I'm a ps3 fanboy (also own a 360 and a wii) I don't see the appeal of motion control and have no interest in it. The nice thing about buttons and analog sticks is that there is feedback. If I press a button I know I pressed it, and while I may shout sometimes that I hit the button and it didn't read it, I know I pressed it. Motion control has no feedback and therefore I am never able to be confident that what I'm doing is translating into game input. That's just me, though.

is this the video you want?

yes thank you for embedding

don't know if the video is good for you but the code is a bit screwed up... if you put it in full screen it works great!

  No, I mean there is something for everyone on each machine. More than enough for any individual if they look and experiment. To say otherwise is close-minded. There's so many games on each system that every user is catered for. I'm serious.

The Wii has 'hardcore' (meaning teenage-twenty-something males in actuality) games such as Call of Duty, Monster Hunter, Metroid, Zelda, Resident Evil 4, Red Steel 2, Silent Hill, Tatsunoko vs Capcom, No More Heroes and its sequel, Cursed Mountain, Godfather, Scarface, Bully and so on. All good to excellent games that appeal to that market. The hardcore gamer segment is a myth of young nerdy, online men that seek to explain why games sell on PS3 and Xbox that have yet not sold marvellously on Wii.  The reason being poor effort, poor marketing and a lack of that casual and internet gaming obsessive young male consumers. Those games exist on Wii, perhaps without the technological flair, but the basic gameplay is there and is there with some unique and engaging controls. Like I said there is something for all on it, but perhaps not the numbers of titles that are found elsewhere. After all, the Wii is better at catering for older males, younger males and females than the other two consoles, but they, too, have some games for those segments.
