There would be alot less innovative and good games since most would just be milked to death and anything that failed to sell huge would be cancelled, and with the lack of competion live price would be jacked up as well as DLC rip offs, basically like it is now but with more rip offs and less good games 

Development of a motion enabled controller began in 2001, coinciding with development of the Wii console. In that year, Nintendo licensed a number of motion-sensing patents from Gyration Inc., a company that produces wireless motion-sensing computer mice.^[2] Nintendo then commissioned Gyration Inc. to create a one-handed controller for it,^[2] which eventually developed the "Gyropod", a more traditional gamepad which allowed its right half to break away for motion-control.^[2] At this point, Gyration Inc. brought in a separate design firm Bridge Design to help pitch its concept to Nintendo.^[3] Under requirement to "roughly preserve the existing Game Cube [sic] button layout", it experimented with different forms "through sketches, models and interviewing various hardcore gamers".^[3] By "late 2004, early 2005", however, Nintendo had come up with the Wii Remote's less traditional "wand shape", and the design of the Nunchuk attachment.^[4] Nintendo had also decided upon using a motion sensor, infrared pointer, and the layout of the buttons,^[4] and by the end of 2005 the controller was ready for mass production.^[4]

During development of the Wii Remote, video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto brought in mobile phones and controllers for automotive navigation systems for inspiration, eventually producing a prototype that resembled a cell phone.^[4] Another design featured both an analog stick and a touchscreen, but Nintendo rejected the idea of a touchscreen on the controller, "since the portable console and living-room console would have been exactly the same".^[4]

Sources also indicate that the Wii Remote was originally in development as a controller for the Nintendo GameCube, rather than the Wii. Video game developer Factor 5 stated that during development of launch title Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader, it had an early prototype of a motion-sensing controller.^[5] Video game journalist Matt Casamassina, from gaming website IGN, stated that he believed that Nintendo had planned to release the Wii Remote for the GameCube, noting that "Nintendo said that it hoped that GCN could enjoy a longer life cycle with the addition of top-secret peripherals that would forever enhance the gameplay experience."^[6] He suggested that Nintendo may have wanted to release the Wii Remote with a new system, instead of onto the GameCube, as "[the] Revolution addresses one of the GameCube's biggest drawbacks, which is that it was/is perceived as a toy."^[6]

The only way Sony began before Nintendo with motion controls, and in the case Nintendo never before Wii experiment with motion controls, is that the development of move was from 1995-2000.

About in the same exact position it is now. Just being honest.

Minus a lot of great exclusives of course, at least until Sony came right back in with another console. They're never leaving the hardware business.

Your changing literally the opinion of... what 30-60 million people?

That's not tweaking as little as possible.

Yes, your right, it does sound stupid

Also not sure how it relates to the OP...

In all honesty, the PS3 has done fine, this speculation won't change that...

But making the PS3 fail is equally illogical, at least to me.  I guess I can't make my brain accept sch a big change without cause lol.  My bad.

I'm really struggling to think of much that would be different, at least in a major sense. I mean yeah we'd obviously lose out on the best Sony first party games, but that goes without saying (although LBP might have been on another console)...

The biggest thing would probably be that Japanese third party support would be entirely focused behind the Wii, or it would have gone even further towards handheld gaming.

Outside of that, would Microsoft have bothered with their 360 redesign? Kinect would still be here, and I don't see Nintendo doing much different.

I'm sure it's already been corrected but I just wanted to point out that the Xbox 360 Pro came with a wireless controller a year before the PS3 hit the market.  Nintendo had the Wavebird last generation, too.  Heck, wireless controllers date back to the mid-80's, at least.  I remember seeing Freedom Stick ("NO WIRES!")commercials for the NES, back when.

My personal take on things:  A lot of the features that we see on Xbox Live came as a result of competition from Sony.  I think game prices for the 360 would still be pretty high (about $400), no features like ESPN, full game installs (awesome feature, btw) and Last FM on the 360, and no new re-designs that feature Wi-Fi, HDMI, or better reliability.

The 360 would be going head to head with the Wii but I'm not sure they'd have tried to enter the motion control arena.  M$ probably would have been satisfied owning 100% of the HD market and left Nintendo to cater to the lower horsepowered motion control market. 

Competition is good for the industry.  It always has been.  Without worthy competition, maybe we'd still be playing games on cartridges and Nintendo wouldn't be as innovative as they've been forced to be.  Maybe game prices would be at $80 a pop.  Maybe graphics wouldn't be as impressive as they are, now.  There's a couple of things that are better for the whole industry just because the PS3 exists.  There's probably a few things that would be standard next gen that simply won't come to pass because the PS3 isn't a huge success.  Maybe "Folding Home/Life with Playstation" and "Playstation Home" would've become industry standards, next gen.  Who's to say.  We're not from the future......except for me.  I'm from the future.  Oh, and something pretty bad happens in 2013.  It's probably best if I don't tell you guys about it.  I will say this:  when Space Obama makes a decision, it may be in your best interests to listen to him.

I already mentioned causes that were smaller.  Microsoft aquiring a few key titles, Sony discontinuing the PS3 from the beating they took from it.
