well they can claim all they want does not mean their perception is right.

the picture's and game's speak for themselves:

you say:

like no one would make a bowling game like that only Nintendo would of come up with that concept?

table tennis, yea like no one would have come up with pong!

yea That's Nintendo too huh.

How could they do it differently? Many ways. Sony, and apparently you, lack the small amount of imagination required to do so.

And since you've spelled out that you need to be spoon fed, I'll help you out just this once. Just three of the... similarities... in the design:

1. Two hands. Not surprising there. But take a closer look: the remotes are both in the right hands and the "nunchuks" are both in the left hands. They couldn't just switch it up, could they? No other way to do that? Not only this, but the finger positions are nigh-indentical. The Wii version has them spread out a little more... But hey! I'm not arguing semantics here!

2. Wrist strap. Truth be told, they need a wrist strap just as Nintendo does. The kicker here, though? The thin part of the strap coming of the remote, then the piece of plastic connecting it to the thicker portion, and yet another thicker piece of plastic to adjust the size of the strap.

3. White background. I'm sure you could argue here that they couldn't do it with any other color, but hey, what do we care about colors?

So remember, I'm not saying they copied the remote itself; I'm saying Nintendo's philosophy behind it is what Sony is copying. I really can't think of a way of spelling it out more for you.

look right here:

so marketing is the only factor  counted as concept's! because that's exactly what your saying

give me a freakin break!

both use hand model's to show off their technology..boohoo take it up with Nintendo's marketing department

So because they put the Move in the right hand instead the left hand you're complaining? O_o

There are more right handed people than left handed people...

Also, please start your complaint about this for me would you please.




Same white background, how original.
Same button layout and 4 shoulder buttons, how original.
Same placement of analog sticks, how original.
Same design pretty much overall, how original.

Nintendo never copies though, I know.

Give it some rumble and we could change it from Dualshock Three to Dualshock Wii.

Metroid Other M started out as an on rails shooter, than later on became somewhat similar to Shadow Complex with the exception of needing to sometimes switch to first person for missle launching. Should we attack them for that too?

Instead why not just embrace that people were right and motion controls were the future and now everyone is catching up? Would you want instead for them not to make them at all and just say that maybe it just isn't the future?

not true at All:

R&D at Sony was very interested at Sony in making the motion controll's, but the Ceo's who made the call to wait to see how the Wii did.

that's as plain as day, just because the people over at Nintendo went ahead and did it does not mean the very concept was copied, it just mean's they who were in charge did not think it was that viable.

That in no way mean's that Sony in this case did not have the know how or the technology to do what the control technology of the Wii does. or that Sony did not already have something like the Wii control concept already, which they @ Sony did indeed have.

think about it from the perspective.

Sony releases the EYETOY but no 3rd party make's software for it. of course they are going to have some reservation's getting the CEO's to change their opinion of Motion controll's

Eaxactly also like I said not all the people at Sony did not think Motion controll's were not a viable choice for controll function's.

The Wii proved along with people in Not only Nintendo's R&D, BUT Also Sony's R&D also that Motion controll's were not only Viable but contained a unique experience also that can be added to the gamer's enjoyment of interactive software.

one tooth the chance, the other one waited.

I just think the complaining is downright ridiculous and childish. Copying has been going on since I was a kid growing up with video games in the 80's and 90's.

It happens, unfortunately though some people feel the need to cry about it when they should be happy about it, especially if that style of gaming these companies are pursuing happens to be their style of gaming. It only opens up more possibilities for them.

The fans of motion controlling games are oddly the ones complaining yet they are also the ones who win in all of this.

I agree with rol, that SONY would not have invested as much as they did on the PS MOVE, had the wii not been such a breakthrough success..

but that does not mean sony were not looking into motion control development.. considering the fact a concept similar to the PS MOVE was in development with eye toy, 6-7 years ago..

Nintendo did the smart thing, release a product at a much cheaper price than the XBOX or PLAYSTATION, *$400 and $600 respectively* at around $250, bundle it with a game, and develop a control scheme, that brings something different to the table. The price made it an ideal choice for consumers, and then the control scheme began to take over.

Thats the way I see things.. I dont believe it is a RIP OFF, but the consumer may believe it is.. unless something like the following is shown in stores, to show how it differentiates from the wii

nor anything like this:

that last tech demo, is jaw dropping PERFECT 1:1, the combination of the PS EYE and MOVE is genius..

and sure that pic may look similar, but you don't need a sub controller, you can just use a DUAL SHOCK, the sub controller is just for easier use of analogue stick..

I know Nintendo wants to make money.

Both Sony and MS are only doing Motion controlled games because there popular, and AFAIK Nintendo's online is basic.

Nintendo doesn't care about Online, since the start of this gen i only heard improvements on XBL/PSN not one single thing about Wii's online. Hell i dont even know what the hell they call it. 

 does audi copy bmw? does bmw copy audi? or some other car brand copy this or was copied by this? a car streering wheel can only have this form and aspect....

 so does the sony could do a motion control that ain't similar to wii mote and nunchuck? i don't see how... if any of you could tell me how... its not that sony is coping the design... is that it not could be done any way else!
