If Ms and Sony make a Wii like remote is the Wii in trouble?

Lets say that both MS http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1584945/20080404/id_0.jhtml

and Sony http://www.sonywaggle.com/

develop the rumored Wii like Remotes...

Do you think that the Nitendo will be able to fight off the competition or will it be the end of the Wii...

No, the Wii is still a heck of alot more cheaper and focuses on a MUCH larger audiance.

This generation, not at all. They already have a good install base. Besides, Nintendo makes good games for their console. It wouldn't be enough to hurt them. Sony and MS could chisel a bit away, but people own the Wii and are finally comfortable with the idea of the controller. It took a lot of people a good adjustment period to just get used to and then fall in love with it. I don't think people would be piling to get used to another motion controller for another company. Also, at this point, people are developing Wii games with the motion controller in mind. These companies could move their products over if they saw profit, but other companies would just tack on crappy controls to Sony and or MS if they had one, similar to the first year of the Wii.r

This all kind of flooded my head, I hope it makes sense.

I don't want them anyway...let the Wii be the Wii and let us have our controllers...I don't want the Wiimote on my 360 or PS3chikenfriedrice

I agree with you on this but I don't think MS and Sony are going to let the Wii alone in the market nich they have found...

Not if it only costs them the price to develop a new controller to get into the market..

But as most have posted so far Price for the Wii is still a big factor..

Unless MS and Sony sells TONS of their 'remotes', its hardly going to succeed because the potentional sale of a motion game is limited by the number of remotes sold. This is why N was so smart including a nunchuk with the wii remote: every developer can rely on the fact that their consumer base will have it.

Also, developing for the Wii is cheap. Devleoping for 360 or Sony is far more expensive, so the idea a publisher is going to invest into a new game with a limited audience is slim.

I must be a man from the future but didnt Sony attempt to put 6-axis into there controllers as straight competition against Wii's Waddle? They failed already at putting in Waggle. Microsoft will probaly bring out a gimmick controller but will only work for several games which means they fall flat on there face!

Theyre to far into the generation to clone Nintendo and make a success of it!

nah, they don't pose a threat

but the Wii still sucks and will continue sucking until shep start buying good third party games

Not unless they drop the price to $250 or less AND if only devs have had wiimote games for PS3/360 in development for the past years secretly.

No one want's a controller that only works for a couple games.

No sony already tried that and look at what happend to them :lol:

Lair 4.5

nah, they don't pose a threat

but the Wii still sucks and will continue sucking until shep start buying good third party games

I have a lot of third party games myself:

Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles (Both are million sellers), Need for Speed Carbon, No More Heroes and Lost Winds.

Once the PS3 and 360 are available for 250 dollars and have a lot more casual appealing games, I'll get back with you. ;)Lionheart08

Quite true.

if Mcdonalds started serving coffee would starbucks be in trouble?Acemaster27

actually thats not a good example. starbucks growth has slowed alot since mcdonalds and other chains, like dunkin doughnuts, jack in the box, started carrying better quality coffee. there was an article awhile back on msnbc.com
