Wow this will sure bring productive conversations.


It will.  Sometimes, we take these joke threads and turn it into something the OP never intended.  That just shows how mature we are on this site.

Well. we're not ALWAYS mature.

That guy must have weighed 600 pounds before that came out.

Well then guess what people...Nintendo copied Nintendo!

 


You should have added the GCN controller too since the Wiimote has the large A button (the GCN had a larger A button) since the A+B on the NES controller are the 1+2 buttons.

Whatever happens Sony thought about it first..

We've argued this before but I think most of us understand that companies HAVE to use what works for their competition to stay competitive. If they didn't, only one brand of car would have a built in air conditioner because "Everybody else copied". Certain things become industry standards and it only makes sense to include them.

Touch screens, HDMI, Netflix, hard drives, motion controls, rumble, etc. Yeah, somebody had to incorporate these things first. That's how it works. We look at "copying" the wrong way. We just want our favorite company to have something the other companies don't.

Reminds me of the Apple vs Samsung lawsuit.

Well it is copying they didn't do it until they saw Nintendo do it.

Well, Sony copies Nintendo making games.
Nintendo is de god and creator of videogames.
Any "console" before NES is your imagination.

Nintendo should have patented game-making. What a missed opportunity.


Just be glad apple didn't do it.


Oh no, don't give them any ideas.

Oh god, look it's like saying the one who invented something themselves is copying themselves!

How else do you make a wand?

better yet turn the  WiiMote side way's and do the same to the Playstation Move, notice something? No matter how you turn them the Playstation Move is designed to be used as a wand, while the WiiMote was designed to be used as also a Game pad!

Saying Sony copied the WiiMote is like saying Sony copied itself! unlike Nintendo and Microsoft in this case Sony really did develop their own Motion control system and started in 2000, so unless Nintendo had a freaking Time Machine ..Which they may have who know's..lol

Sony was working on their Wand Motion control system when they were working on the Eye Toy!

for One Nintendo's release on the Wii with Motion control's was far cheaper to employ than the methods that both Microsoft and Sony Employed. could you imagine the cost of the kinect and Move back in 2006? people were up in arms about the cost of the PS3 if Sony was to add in Move , which they really could have the cost of Move component's alone would have been $300.00+ added to the cost ontop of what the PS3 would have cost back in 2006. Same with Kinect

the cost back in 2005 and 2006 would have been at least twice the cost as it was when it did get released. Nintendo was able to release faster because of the component's were far cheaper. Its no kwinkie dink that multiple motion control methods started to really be pushed in 2001, the Darwin was already on the market in 2005, for Golf. that was before the Wii, Playstation Move, Kinect and other motion control's for the PC.



I AM BOLO

100% lover "nothing else matter's" after that...

Try being original for a change. Microsoft saw the Wii, it didn't stop them from doing something different.


Microsoft didn't copy Nintendo, but they sure copied Sony's Eyetoy.
