"everyone copy nintendo", Problem is they really don't. The only reason they are all going crazy with motion control is because Nintendo has struck a gold mine.

why not? if its working...if ninty open new markets or come up with something different to play games with thats successful then why not go after it? business is not some cuddly world of friendly banter and hugs and kisses......its cutthroat. do or die. innovate or die. stand still and die. if your competitior has something you want..like a new market or a fancy controller....then you do your level best to take it off them and maybe improve on their ideas. they, in turn, try to stop you. is it a bad thing? no...thats now business works. lets say no one used nintys ideas..what would drive ninty to continue to be creative and to think outside the box? if sony hadnt added the second stick for the DS1 on the PS1...would we still be stuck with 1 stick controllers? if MS hadnt knicked every online idea they have from whats happening on the PC then yould console gaming be in the solid state its in now? this is how business works. its not pretty.

Actually Nintendo had the first online console. :) Waaaaaay back.

cool, that's not online gaming.

Sega did this first. MS perfected it, or if anything, moved it forward. but they didn't introduce in the console-industry.

Or it could be because their new motion control apparatus is a remote and nunchuk...that just might possibly be it. Can't say for sure. I'll get back to you.

You forgot Nintendo put the analog stick on a standard console controller, then Sony copied them. Next thing you know Sony and Microsoft will be releasing their own heartbeat sensor.

Believe it or not, Sega introduced the mass market internet concept. Microsoft just improved it.

Yeah I totally agree. Like why does IKEA make furniture. Like dining tables, they so copied that idea from someone else. They should come up with something original.

That is copying the Eye-Toy, not the Wiimote. Do you even know what Kinect is? It most definitely isn't a waggle stick.

But ikea came up with the idea of wonderful cheap build-it-yourself-and-eat-swedish-food furniture. They didn't just copy the idea of a couch. If Ikea built a motion sensing way of playing videogames, it would involve tasty swedish food that would be very original.

motion-sensing in general?

no....Nintendo had motion sensing tech since 1989, though a failure, you can't discount the powerglove's existence.

even MS had motion controls in video-gaming before their Kinect crap, and even before the Eyetoy.

Except Nintendo didn't make the Power Glove, Mattel did. ;) Oh and I knew about MS's Sidewinder controller for PC, that's why I said "between the two", as in Nintendo and Sony. ;) again.

The button layout of the PSX controller was definitely a copy of the SNES layout, but there is a big difference between the snes PAD and Sony's design.

Microsoft and Sony have innovated in their own ways but I think Nintendo takes the cake.

Microsoft-

Mainstreamed online gaming (community, headsets)

TV and Movies on consoles

First Western Console

Sony-

Dual Analog (analog came from nintendo)

Disc based gaming

Memory cards

Camera gaming

Nintendo-

Dpad

Analog Stick

Shoulder Buttons

Rumble

Mastered 3D gaming (platforming, lock-on)

First Handheld

Motion Controls

...and countless other game mechanics, genres, and ideas came from nintendo ...The industry definetly would be the same without them... they are the kings

One thing i will say is that Microsoft and Sony seem to offer a better place for third party games, Nintendo kinda always has just done their own thing and expect third parties to follow when Microsoft and Sony really RELY on third party developers..

I guess I am different. When at home gaming, I don't worry about what I look like. Thats called "insecurity". but if thats fun for you, rock on.

I thought it was Sega with the Gensis. Need to find one of my magazines but I recall that one of Sega's old consoles could go Online but of course, it was an utter failure.

Yeah....about that, Dreamcast was the first console with online gaming. Sorry friend. Anyway, people copy Ninty because A: It's lucrative B: They don't know how to patent their **** and most importantly, C: Get over it...
