I lost my last ounce of respect I had for Sony when they came out with this blatant Wii copy.

I LOST MY TEN OUCES OF RESPECT WHEN PEOPLE CALLED IT A COPY DESPITE YOUTUBE OF EVIDENCE FROM OVER TEN YEARS AGO

OK. NINTENDO DON'T GO REVEALING THEIR IDEAS BEFORE THEY NEED TOO. OTHERWISE PEOPLE JUST COPY. SO HOW DO WE KNOW THEY DIDN'T HAVE SOMETHING IN THE WORKS BEFORE THAT???
at the end of the day it is a copy because they didn't have the guts to release it themselves. On top of that they slammed motion controls and now they cool?
They also slammed 3DS for not using glasses for 3D, and guess what now SONY is making a 3D tv that doesn't require glasses because toshiba are making one.

because Sony had a patent on their design..for a playstation Wand back in 2005!, but yet there is video at Siggraph 2000 an 2001. of sony using the idea of a wand combined with the playstation eye..dr. Marks was a specialist in optical cameras..that's why he joined Sony back in 1999. he liked the idea of using camera's to control unique game experiences.

and the most likely reason Sony waited to bring theirs out besides the problems of getting developer's to support the EYETOY in the previous years and getting the higher up's at Sony aside from the R&D teams who wanted to bring it out, to give another motion control platform another go at sony , because 3rd party's said once before they were going to support the EYETOY and few did, but also the very fact that Sony's motion control method was FAR and above more expensive than Nintendo's motion control method at the time and not including the EYETOY having to be upgraded, the magnetometers having to be included, an on top of that you have to of course included gyroscopes, accelerometers and optical led's to display color's to avoid background color's in enviroments having adverse effects on the motion control precision without thoes LED's if you plan to include augmented reality..it was not only feasable at the time without major expense but the technology would have been way too expensive. Sony had to wait.
as for 3d glassless if you notice all the CE companies that make TV's they are all working on glassless 3D TV's but if you also notice Nintendo does not make 3D display's they get them from someone else! ie: a ce display company.
and if you want to be keen on innovation why is Sony concentrating on 3D now with Glasses well if you notice if you combine (MOVE 3D GLASSES) WHAT IS THE FIRST THING THAT COMES TO MIND WITH THAT TYPE OF EXPERIENCE?
VR its nothing new, companies have been working on VR in one shape or form for a while. but that is beside the point..no company is an island all unto them selves. if one is working on something pretty much everyone else is too. just someone releases first and most of the time the one that releases first has thing's that are missing that the other's would be including because at the time it would make it more expensive to have them included..like as an example an item that's missing out of the Wii an Wii motion plus that's not missing out of Sony's motion control or the one from MIT is magnetometers
