Hasn't everyone copied someone else at some point ? Microsoft copied Apple to a certain extent with Windows. AMD copied Intel with their own x86 based CPU's. Compaq copied IBM when they designed their own BIOS. Sun copied Microsoft Office with OpenOffice. The list goes on and on...

Who really gives a ********? I'm looking forward to the coming titles for all of the new systems. Well, the 360 hasn't wowed me much at all to be honest. I'm really only looking forward to Nintendo's Wii. I just want to play those damned games now.

I find it hilariosu that Fanwanks want to flame Sony saying they ripped off nintendo...... when sony has been researching ansd patenting such technoloies for 3 years now
the irony is truly amazing

But hasn't Nintendo been researching "new" technology for some time now.
But this, when I think about is a lot of crap. As a Nintendo fanboy myself I don't care what Sony does. Infact they have made ideas better. Rumble pak is now able to be activated without batteries, we have two anolog sticks that enchance gaming.
But the wii controller and the Ps3 controller...first the Ps3 can only sense movement in 6 positions, the Wii can detect 3-D movement. Both use different technology too and both really have been used before.
It's all silly in the bloody end...

Gaughan But the wii controller and the Ps3 controller...first the Ps3 can only sense movement in 6 positions, the Wii can detect 3-D movement. Both use different technology too and both really have been used before. not quite the PS3 controller can detect motion on 6 axis...... the number of positions is not actually limited. Basically it detects the motion of the action controller using a horizontal, verticle, diagnol, and bisectign plane....... that allows the hardware to track motion in all directions of movement which will be interesting for puzzle games as the controller could be used to directly affect the movement and position of a single object Also the Wii uses vector mapping, which does not truly track 3-D movement so much as the angle and vector of a projected signal via an external signal which is then applied to a 3d model to generate an aiming point or a vector of motion.... which would allow you to either move an object in arcs (Such as a sword) or aim devices (Such as ranged weapons) one is an evolution of actual motion detection...... the other is an evolution of light gun styled technology

That would be a b***h.

Who cares if it's stolen technology, even though it isn't. In the words of Sonic the Hedgehog:
"All's fair in love and war, but this ain't love!"
Besides, they're both going to be really good consoles. People shouldn't complain about Sony making their console more enjoyable.

That would be a b***h. just thinking about it gives me a headache..... a standardized driver for vector mapping..... or a standardized driver for 6 axis gyroscopic control gonk

Nintendo has been working on the Wii since the release of the Gamecube, and I can assume they started with the motion sensing abilities. So... If we want to get into it, nobody copied anybody.

Jesus, this is ridiculous. I know it's to be expected, but I still can't stand all of the bitching about Sony's controller. Oh nos dey tyr 2 steel ninty cuntroler!1 Who gives a s**t? It's been stated before, but I'll state it again: when it's all said and done hardware doesn't mean much. Software software software is what matters most. It's not like Sony has just stolen Mario.

If Sony truely copied Nintendo, evidence would suggest by:
-due to Nintendo's announcement of their controller, by Sony trying to copy would mean them not having enough time to refine their motion sensor equipment
-we start to see third party titles on both formats that control the same way (i.e. a tennis game)
But stated already, who gives a crap? It'll be the software that'll end up to decide the overall fate of the consoles
