I'm fed up of people claiming Sony copied Nintendo strategy, please try and remember the mini games that came out for Eyetoy ps2, even before the wiimote even existed

The only thing more pathetic than Sony's shameless Move, is the spin in this thread. Sony copied Nintendo straight out, it's basically the same product. Just like they slapped on analog sticks after Nintendo figured out how to do it right, and the same thing with rumble. I don't understand how people can seriously try to debate this.

I don't care if technically there are a few differences, they achieve the same goal and are used the same way. Even the games look like Wii knock-offs. Sorry guys, just admit that your favorite company shamelessly ripped off another idea, again. People trying to defend Sony will just make things worse, you will only make people hate them even more.

again for the misinformed go read my thread mini games, like the sports one existed on ps2 way before the wii, Sony did not copy the Wii, they just styled their controller to look too much like the wiimote, which admittedly is irritating, but honestly, how else could you make it different, Even Natal which uses some new technology, copies from the original eye toy

Using motion controls is not progression as it is breaking the mold on how we play video games which makes it different than anything welse on the market.....thats innovation.

The only difference between the dvd and cd is that one has more storage than the other......it would still be possible to have the ps2 use cd's but it would be far too troublesome and whould probably take at least3-4 cd's for each game......if you consider this innovation than every single mp3 manufacturer who has had the mp3 with the highest storage at one point has innovated......which complete bull as all they did was just add more gigs of storage.

Eyetoy plays differently then wii's motion control. Oh and, Eyetoy failed. Why do people keep using this argument? Eyetoy was a gimmick with no good games.

In that case, the EyeToy on PS2 (or even the Dream Eye on Dreamcast, if you want) should also take credit for Motion Controls, as they also redefined how we played videogames then, now and in the future (PS Eye / Natal). Infact, when Natal is shown... And the PS fanbase goes crazy over it with the "OMG EyeToy copy!" bullcrap, can i expect to see you backing the PS Fans?

From what i've seen on these forums for well over a year, the general thought of the Wii fanbase is that Motion controls are the "future", and Sony/MS needed to jump on board / "Catch up". Now they are, it's just not fair and they are copying scum. The thing they seem to be bothered about is how Sony have slated the motion controls, but now embrace them... Hypocrisy. Which is just the same as what the Nintendo fans are doing as we speak...

does it matter wii still nicked the mini game ideas from sony, who nicked their ideas from sega with the dream eye, just watch this

omg LOL I almost peed hahahaha

I already knew Nintendo didn't invent table tennis, so that vid was pointless.

what does "failing" have to do with anything? You're avoiding the fact that the idea and tech was already there in the first place. Being successful at "copying" a product, doesn't mean that you're not taking ideas from that product. So, by your logic, activsion was the first to invent a guitar game because konami's guitar freaks was not as popular? get real.

So if Sony decides to release a power glove and virtual goggle system, then go on to make billions of profit off of it, they'd be the real innovators right?
