Yes I read your link, it's basically someone saying "Look Sony had bowling on eyetoy and Wii has bowling!" And your point is what? That Sony invented the idea of a game having bowling, or table tennis, or golf? This argument is the same as saying Infinity Ward ripped of IQ because they made a shooting game in the first person perspective. Sports games are a genre of gaming, you can't really rip off a genre, just because eye toy did it with hand gestures doesn't mean they invented anything.

Oh, and why have people STILL not realised that the reason people say Move is a rip off is because it looks and functions nearly identically to a Wii remote, it has nothing to do with games.

At some point, you're going to realize that there is nothing wrong with someone copying someone else and that you don't need to damage control it.

Did Sony also invent the lightbulb?

There isn't proof yet that The Move is better. That's only an assumption.

And both are being held the same exact way with wrist straps the MOVE is a ripoff deal with it...

2. Including safety features is a ripoff? :o

And if you want to get technical they aren't being held the exact same way, in one the thumb is bent.

Actually Atari created the Analog stick for the Atari 5200 in the 80s...

[QUOTE="MizFitAwesome"]

[QUOTE="FIipMode"] Gotta say its funny to see people keep posting this when the controllers aren't even identical, in Move the direction pad is on the sub-controller instead of the main controller, the main controller has less buttons and most importantly one has a big ball on top.

Well, the button layout is obvious, and they probably added the huge orb ontop because they maybe, JUST MAYBE felt guilty for completely plagerizing Nintendos design.

[QUOTE="FIipMode"][QUOTE="Dataleak"] The Move controllers are a carbon copy of the Wiimote, cmon man. How it's split in two, the fact that it's a wand. They look identical except the Move has a huge glowing light ontop of it. :lol: And obviously, button layout. Dataleak

wiimote and move are nearly identical, except the fact that move has a huge ugly ball on top :P

1. The design was clearly influenced by the Wii. Sony has said it themselves, they are trying to capture the Wii audience who want to move to an HD console. The best way they can do this is by making something that is familiar to their target audience, and that is, in fact, a wii-mote and nunchuck combo.
2. To those who say that Sales don't matter, you need to realise that sales shape our entire industry. They matter to gamers as well as casuals, publishers, developers, and anyone else touched by this industry. The reason why developers aren't making Mature games on Wii is because we, the audience, don't buy them, which cues the publishers to not fund such projects. The reason why Sony made Move is to capture the Wii audience, the largest audience in the console race, right now. Sales matter to us all.

because Nintendo was smarter with their design and marketing?

i mean lets be honest, eyetoy was never a good device for motion control, it was always so-so or "man this had potential if in the right hands"

and judging by the PSEYE on the PS3, sony never gave a **** while Nintendo created a whole market for it

i mean PSMOVE is nice and all, but don't take credit for basically letting another company do all the hard work and take all the risks, then copying whatever they did

and you know nothing about creativity and design

Sony managed to copy the Wii-mote twice.

even MS could never dream of such a feat and they'll never grace the juggercoppier that is Sony.

Yeah they took Nintendo's controller design.

what else are they going to make it look like? it makes sense to make it a stick because its easy to hold and use and everyone will be used to using the controller because of the wii, it would make no sense to make it a different shape, also the Wand looks more comfortable to hold but i dont think the buttons on the wand will work out very well.

Look theres a blue lightbulb on the end of sony's. Completely different!

It doesn't matter if Sony copied the Wii with Move (which is an awful name. Whoever came up with that should be fired) or if they arrived with their stupid lollipop looking thing independently (unlikely).

Nintendo did it first, and actually took a risk with it. They released a console based on it. Sony is releasing a Wii copy (for all intents and purposes) as an addon. There is a huge difference there.
