miyamoto is being the professional he always is and is being kind to his competition, something others could learn from.

They could do it in the past (if Nintendo owners agreed, obviously). They didn't. Now they can't anymore. Someone restock Ballmer's chairs supply, please  

I'm willing to bet that everyone in this thread who had claimed that Nintendo copied Sony with the idea of motion control started gaming either with the PS1 or PS2.

The 1980's called.....they want their power glove back.

I checked to be sure I remembered correctly, and yes, Powerglove was an accessory for NES, but it was designed and made by Mattel. It was a cheaper and sturdier version of a US government funded research project.
So everybody's copying Mattel, but even Mattel was copying somebody

LOL, Bill Hates has 40 billion dollars(wikipedia), he can easily buy Nintendo and make them make games for his kids :)

imitation is the best form of flattery.

Another Shiggy response via BBC.

didnt the PS2 eyecam track body motion with certain games ???????

If I checked correctly, Ninty now is worth more than 70 billion $, in theory uncle Bill could try to buy the majority of shares, but the attempt would leave him with little billion left, even not considering the fact that the takeover bid would make Nintendo shares skyrocket, making impossile for him to buy enough to gain full control. Once wasted his 40 billion without securing the majority, there would be some rebounds until share value would settle more or less at its original value, most probably a little more, but a lot less than uncle Bill paid, making him lose an awful lot of money. 

man this guy is so noble
