I only see two possibilities:

1) You're the most hearted Sony fan who will be forever in denial about the ps move being a blatant Wii rip off. (some of them already get over it)

2) You know that anonymity is a good thing on the internet and you can say whatever crazy stuff you want because we don't know who you are.


"PS move is not a wii rip off"

This phrase is an heresy. lol.

or that i am not so blind to think  ONLY  Nintendo:

was the only ONE to have come up with the IDEA of Motion controll's:

no matter how you break it down this say's it all right there:

when was the WiiMote first shown. whitch also included the NUNCHUCK?

Wii remote when was it first shown

The controller was revealed at the TGS on October 14, 2005, with the name "Wii Remote" announced April 27, 2006

SONY's concept of the playstation wand :

Invention: Magic wand for gamers 16:41 23 August 2005 by Barry Fox

For over 30 years, Barry Fox has trawled the world's weird and wonderful patent applications each week, digging out the most exciting, intriguing and even terrifying new ideas. His column, Invention, is now available exclusively online. Please send us your feedback.

Magic wand

PlayStation gamers are always looking for exciting new ways to control the onscreen action, but using a camera to track a player's body movement has not worked reliably, admits Sony. The camera gets confused by other things in the room.

Sony's new idea is to plug a webcam into the console, and give the gamer a handheld wand similar to a pocket flashlight. The wand has a battery, a few mouse-like buttons and several different coloured LEDs that can be switched on and off in various combinations.

By pressing the buttons and waving the wand towards the webcam, the gamer can click to shoot aliens, drag-and-drop images on screen and navigate menus.

The webcam is tuned to see only pure bright colours and map their motion in space, so it can ignore ordinary room lights. And if two people have wands with different coloured LEDs, they can play against each other.

LoL, Just out of interest why do you back Sony knowing that Move is a Wii Rip off?

I'm a Nintendo fan however I'll be the first person to critise Nintendo when they mess up.

 

The First E3 Shown PS3 Controllers -Sixasis - Dual Shock 3 - Move: 4 Different controls in 1 Gen (4 years) is quite a lot?

I'd argue PS3 owners shouldn't have to pay for Sonys Failuers

Yes, the Wii was called a fad by everyone, including Sony. Everyone, including Sony, have been proven wrong. Is it funny? Yes.

Do we need to repeat it endlessly? Well... maybe a couple of times. But we've done that. Now let's move on.

I, for one, am glad to see motion controls have become such a breakthrough. You Nintendo fans like motion controls? Be happy, it won this generation!

If the games shown hadn't been basically Wii games with more detailed graphics, and the guy at the presentation hadn't arrogantly assumed graphics was still a factor with these games (his declaration this is for Wii players who want to try HD graphics), I would drop it.

I'll give even the shape is more because those are more comfortable forms for those controllers, and there was talk that using the gamepad instead of a nunchuck just doesn't work. But those other things are blatant trying to copy Nintendo's style, instead of finding their own.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

I Agree, 

Nobody is saying Sony can't do motion controls my issues are (from owning sony products)

Sony Dissed Motion from the start

Are on their fourth main control (5 included the Sony nunchuck imitation)

Who will have to support the cost of this? The consumer.

& Lastly Where is Sonys own identity? Move is Almost Traced from the Wii Mote & Nunchuck.

MS have been trying to copy nintendo throughout this generation (Casual games - Natal - Avatars) but to an extent in they have their own identity.

People got the sixaxis and its still usefull, the first controller was never on the market, and the dualshock 3 is the same as the sixaxis but it has rumble, a feature I havent missed this gen except when I play ps2 games in the ps3, and move is just an optional controller. Thats like saying Nintendo fans are suffering from Wii having that optional oldschool controller.



Dude get over it. Yeah Sony copied Nintendo with motion controls. You're acting like Nintendo is some god or something and Sony just copies them. Sony has innovated plenty in their time in the video game business and this faux pas with motion controls doesn't erase their past history of innovation.

Sony's past innovations: Dual joystick controller, first successful disk based console, first console that also plays movies, Blu-ray, first console with 1080p graphics, the cell, etc.

So just get over it, seriously. It's not that big a deal. You sound like you're worried or something that now Nintendo isn't the only company with motion controls.

First of all,

Joystick wasn't Sonys creation, There have been previous Disk Consoles (Mega CD) 

anyway that's besides the point, Move is in every sense The Wii mote, Theres no real difference.

I spend most of my gaming time at the moment on my XBOX 360, Nintendo isn't my god LMAO.

Lets be Clear here, the Wii mote has already been done! so where's Sonys ambition? Instead we just get a Lazy port it's not good enough?





Can we stop using feature points as ammo in fanboy console wars, and HOPE that this competition drives the videogame industry to properly implement motion control, in a way we get a bunch of more fun videogames? Like, I saw a game that was based on rock climbing posted on here. I HOPE that it gets implemented properly, and works well. That would be fun. The same would be said for a GOOD sword fighting game, with more depth than what was found in Wii Sports Resort, with RPG elements.

Why does rock climbing game interest me? See if you can try Crazy Climber sometime.

I said dual joystick, not joystick; and I said first successful disk console (PS1 sold 102 million)

And yes I 100% whole-heartedly without reservation admit with God as my witness Sony copied Nintendo on the Wii-mote/Sony Move thing.

And sorry I wasn't trying to say Nintendo is your god or something like that. All I'm trying to say is that Sony aren't bad guys for doing this and they aren't the first company to copy someone else. I think they should have done something more original but I don't blame them for wanting a piece of the motion control market.
