Didn't the tilt force 2 by Pelican Accessories come before it?

 

Edit: I can't find any release dates for this tech...

Maybe, but there was definitely a motion based joystick for the Atari 2600 and Comodore 64 in 1981.

Power Glove!!!

nord, would you happen to know when the tilt force 2 controller released?

no, I don't. I only had one friend with a PS1 and back then I only kept up with gaming via comercials, what was in EBGames/ToysRus, Nintendo Power Magazine, and N64.com (now known as IGN)




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

even Nintendo the power glove:

The Power Glove was originally released in 1989. Nintendo was not involved in the design or release of this accessory. Rather, it was designed by the team of Grant Goddard and Davis.for Abrams Gentile Entertainment (AGE), made by Mattel in the united states an PAX in japan.

Please list 10 ways Sony has copied MS.

1. Motion controls (apparently)

2. Achiecements/trophies

3. console based game marketplace

4. Halo style FPS energy regeneration

5. built in hard drive

6. broaband online gaming

7. Uncharted's combat control scheme

8.  console video store

9.  Netflix/Facebook

10. Round "menu" button in the middle of the controller

11.  Themes/wallpaper

 

I'm just messin' with ya.  You issued the challenge.  I just wanted to see if I could do it.  I know MS didn't create half of these things.  They just brought them to the market, first.

That's the highly unsuccessful precursor to Project Natal -- the Activator.
