"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"

Ok, I new these parallels would be made, but they are absolutely ridiculous. A motion sensor in a standard controller does not copy the Wii remote, not by a ****ing long shot. It doesn't even copy Nintendo in any facet, because motion sensors have been around for years, and really I can't understand why Microsoft didn't use a similar design with their controller (they probably will now).

Look guys, the Wii remote provides fully 3D control. It is something way beyond a motion sensor. The PS3 and Wii experiences are still going to be incredibly different.

Yes, but will the general consumer get that?

We know that tilt sensors are limited, but the way Sony is talking, they clearly want to compete with Nintendo.

You say it as if they cant.
And of course they want to compete. It's a competative market.

People need to stop praying to the Wii gods and get over the fact its not as big as it seems.

The Wii controller is a full out sensor. The PS3 controller is a little tiny tilt sensor. Much different.

Directly comparing the two is like comparing a tilt-a-whirl and a ferris wheel; One spins and gyrates and makes whirring noises and has flashy lights to catch kids eyes, the other just has chairs that can be rocked back and forth.

Yeah but if 1 circus invents the tilt-a-whirl which is an amazing experience and suddenly the other circus builds a ferris wheel................. telling costumers that their ferris wheel at least doesn't make you sick.....

Just trying to expand your (imo bad) example.

But my point is they arent directly comparable, because they are for the most part completely different.

But why won't you see it?

Sony was crapping their pants because of the Nintendo motion sensing, so they rush to get something comparable out!

You don't have to believe it, but I do.
