Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Rare says: We were working on Avatars "before Miis

Doesn't matter really, imho...image is king, and the perception was that Miis came first, and M$ is simply copying Nintendo.

I, personally don give a rat's a$$, so long as I get more bang for my buck on XBL, which is the bst service, btw.

Whether true or not, no one will care.

Just like people are already ripping on Warhammer Online for "copying" World of Warcraft's style.... when World of Warcraft copied Warhammer's style to begin with.

Didn't Miyamoto claim that he began working on Mii's initially before the Gamecube was released, but until they decided upon the direction of the Wii he hadn't found a use for them?
