This matters how?

sony is simply taking an existing technology and trying to make it better under their brand, while attempting to appeal to a pre-existing or new audience... Something that every business does.

Shame on Sony right? :rolls eyes:

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Good way to get it out to their new target group for the motion device.. So what's the problem ?

Move has the same design, so? What people fail to realize in this industry is, companies use other ideas from other companies.

Sony was the first to design dual-analog controllers, Nintendo did it, so did Microsoft.

Do you see anyone getting butthurt over it?


The reason people complain about the Move is because it looks similar to the Wii remote and offers the same thing all while Sony is trying to get people to switch over when all it is is really a similar add on.

With Microsoft people have complained about them copying the Wii, but with Natal it's really different from the Wii remote so it doesn't get hated on nearly as much.

Nintendo didn't invent motion controls but do you think if the Wii remote wasn't a success do you think MS and especially Sony would be trying Natal or the Move? Somehow I doubt it. That's the whole point.

It can do more than the wii mote though. It's the next level. Natural progression. Just like the rumble and the analogues, sony took the idea and improved it.

Sony did not innovate anything......their controller at launch didnt even have any analog sticks but once the N64 analog was getting praise , sony made the dual-stick model controller and when nintendos rumble pak took off , sony made the dual shock......all sony has done is copy Nintendo by literally doubling it.

It is a case of follow the leader.

Sony have historically improved upon those ideas though, so it's not all bad.

Analogue -> Dual Analogue

Rumble Pak -> Built in Rumble

Anyway...
Why do we never see any complaints about say, the DVD? Wasn't the PlayStation 2 the first console to use DVD tech? Yet now it is used by the Xbox... Or wasn't the original PlayStation the console with CD-based tech to first "use it successfully", with over 100Million units sold? We never hear anything about those though do we?

Or even the PlayStation Memory Card... Surely that was the first to be uber popular, with 100M+ sales of the console... Why don't we ever hear anything about that? Both Wii and 360 STILL use Memory Cards.

The problem the innovations you listed (CD, DVDs, memory cards) is that they don't have much to do with playing the games itself. All of that stuff is supposed to be invisible to the gamer, anyway - it mainly shows up in lower costs for games.

Nintendo's innovations - the D-pad, Rumble, Analogue, Wiimote, etc. change the gaming experience. Also, none of these are logical progressions - without Nintendo, motion controls probably would not have taken off (yet). Historically, Nintendo has clearly been the main innovator here, which is why people are quick to harp on Sony for this latest move. The problem seems to be Sony fans denying Nintendo any credit, along with the other side feeling compelled to drive the point through (so they bring it up in every damn thread).


Ah, whatever. As for the topic, it's funny at first, but not such a big deal in the end. Nintendo is the market leader, after all.

Natal is nothing like the wii controller because the idea is based off of the eyetoy...

Copying Nintendo controls is already embarrassing enough, but this is absolutely insane.

 

 

 

Get real kid. Nintendo didn't invent it.

They came up with the design and implementation, so how didn't they invent it?

Sony fans, I love you, but you're the kings of spin.

They didn't invent it, but they were the first GAMING company to use MOTION CONTROLS SUCCESFULLY and it wasn't an ADD ON, but a MAIN FOCUS.

 

Fact is, Sony would have never released this if the wii failed. Yes, Sony is doing this because Nintendo did it and yes they were inspired by Nintendo's controller.

 

 


Yes because The eyetoy is a brand new accessory and Sony hasn't been working on motion controller technology since before the Wii was released.

The Eyetoy failed cause it sucked.

Which is worse? The tag being added or people using it as a means to score points?

This is genius. It is to make sure that if you search the wii, you see this. Thus maybe you will buy this instead.
