I heard someone ask that on the IGN board, and the reply he got was "Nintendo patents"...
*shrug* I dunno exactly how that works, or if Sony/MS will be able to find a non-infringing way to make their own version of the controller...
And even if they did release one, it wouldn't be the default controller, so it could be an eye-toy kind of situation where it gets like... 5 games over the console's lifetime...
But eh! If it's "INNOVATIVE AND AMAZING, THE FUTURE OF GAMING!" as Nintendo fans are all hyped up about, it'd be a no-brainer that someone's gonna copy it somehow somewhere down the line...
And of course Nintendo fans would then get all pissed off, yelling about how Sony/MS ripped Nintendo off, and how the future of gaming was supposed to be owned exclusively by Nintendo...
