PlayStation Move is a HUGE Wii rip-off...

is what I would be saying if I didn't know better. Most of us say, "All it is is a wii-mote with a ball at the end?"

Tell me if this looks a bit familiar.

It's quite possible Sony wants to capitalize on the Wii's success, but you can see that they had the technology out before the wii, and they just never had the opportunity they wanted to release it.

design choices from the Wiimote is the problem.

not using this light technology for tracking.

I see it as this, that Nintendo was the only one this gen to take the biggest and boldest move. The move that has now turned to a success. It may be true that Sony may have thought of it at first but at the end of the day, they didnt have the "balls" to go "all out" the way Nintendo did. Nintendo is like the popular kid in school that every zombie follows.

This is of course, how I see it :?

Seems more like a better Wiimote to me.

intresting. And thats the same man behind the move.

And Natal isn't an EyeToy rip off :|

Even though the Move can be more accurate and a better motion controller than the Wiimote, I do agree that people will just see the Move as a Wiimote rip-off since the Wii is so successful. While the majority of people will think the Kinect or Project Natal as something new, since no other gaming camera hasn't been really successful. I think that will be the perspective of many especially the casuals.

Nice find, thanks TC. I think the real problem is more on the consumer end of things, Sony sometimes is slow on the uptake of realizing what's popular - what people are interested in, and what people aren't. And that's where they end up in the position of appearing to copy other people, even when it's clear they were working on similar things beforehand.

Sega didn't have a motion sensing gamepad.

but they did have camera-based games in development for the DreamEye.

I'm sorry, but Sony isn't the innocent victim here, no matter what way you spin it.

Sony has a long history of copying Nintendo. People already anticipated Sony ripping off the Wii Remote as early as 2005. (http://www.electricpig.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/ps3-wiimote.jpg). .I won't be surprised if PSP2 has dual screens and a touch screen. LOLNasi-goreng

I think Sony is dumb for not ripping it off 3 years ago....

Well natal will have the better games. Like the recently confirmed

Kinectimalslet's you train and play with 20 different virtual cats

:lol:

So what? It looks like Sony took what Nintendo had and made it better. I dont see the problem.djsifer01

I was concerned with the motion controls, not layout. but there's some strikingly similar styles between the original Xbox controller and Sega dreamcast/genesis etc. not like I'm ignorant on this bit of news. not trying to defend MS fully here......

but adding some features(2 extra axis) kept SIXAXIS in the innovation zone? no it doesn't, otherwise Natal is good to go too.

oh wait, having a 2nd analog stick was innovation as well:|(Vectrex, not N64, again, I know) I see how this works.

DreamEye had planned games, kind of like how Sony planned to use the light technology, but there's no proof they had plans to use a Wiimote-esque controller. the design choice was the problem. and this video proves little. considering we already knew there's differences between the light tech vs. a sensor bar and infrared.

the Dreamcast being in all of this discussion.....it was 'ahead of its time' for more than 1 reason;)

IWKYB is just jealous that the ps3 move will be better then the wii lets face it the hardware and graphics of the wii suck and only supports 480p games and ps3 has 720p games and some 1080p games

nobody should use eyetoy or pseye to prove anything. Those are horrible techs without any precision, a black mark on sony imo. They promise a lot and overcharge for the thing and then have the gall to avoid any attempt at giving the people who bought it some content. It isn't precise, it isn't innovative, it isn't fun. Simple as that.GunSmith1_basic

seriously move lags just as much as M+ if not more

it could have all these things it COULD do but all i seen that was done is its just another wiimote sony-fied
