Nintendo of America president, Reggie Fils-Aime has told online gaming publication IGN that he’s ‘blushing’ over Sony’s forthcoming motion controller which is officially named PlayStation Move.
“If imitation is the most sincere form of flattery then I’m blushing I’m so flattered.”
“You know, I didn’t see the announcement. I did spend some time at the booth and saw some of what they were demonstrating and I think the question isn’t how will we react — I think the question is, so what is it that’s going to be compelling to the consumer in what they’re doing?
“From our standpoint, motion control is core to what we do. We believe that we’ve brought a range of different experiences that utilize the motion controller and we pride ourselves on being innovators in the space and we’re going to continue to innovate. I think the key question is, how will they respond when we continue to innovate if this is their best effort?”
– Nintendo of America president, Reggie Fils-Aime,
Wow they look like some sort of sexual aids.
it’s all good baybeh BAAAYYY-BEEEHH!!! UH!!! =D
Wow.
Didn’t Sony mock the Wii for having motion controls?
Now look at them. -.-
I have to agree with him. Natal is going to offer something unique with motion “without” a controller. First Sony copy achievements now this. Such a shame Sony doesn’t innovate, but did they ever?

wtf that is so obiviously the nintendo wii
Fuck sony they suck!!
i always hated sony i wish they wud just give up if they cant come up with anything like wtf how do they get away with this
but im guessing it wont sell cause loyal nintendo fans wont even play it
and most other casual gamers will stick to the wii as there is no wii fit equivlent for it
thanks again for the update on this topic
lol,,,sex toy right there
I would be embarrassed also if my competition looked like dildos. Haha Sony won’t sell any of these!
“I would be embarrassed also if my competition looked like dildos.” agreed.
I <3 you Reggie :D
Flattery and embarrassment are very different things.
That aside, it was only a matter of practicality that motion controls be either freehand, or completely hands free like Natal.
While the Wii pioneered freehand motion controller + secondary analog controller setup, and Sony is quite shamelessly imitating Nintendo right down to the press kit shots of the controller and “non-chuck” being held against a white background complete with wrist strap, I can’t fault Sony merely for adopting the freehand concept.
i hope nintendo goes back to not using motion control in the next console… i just liked the gamecube more…
actually, Nintendo’s been planning their next console for quite some time. Last time I heard some news on it, I believe they said it would consist of cameras around the player, motion capturing them, and putting them in the game, even further removing the need for a remote. :/
@mario64mario
So…like Natal? Where did you hear this?
Go back to Gamecube?
Gamecube had some nice games, but something tells me it did not sell quite as well as the Wii!
Nintendo needs to really pull something special out of its hat in a few years time to encourage people to move from the Wii to its successor, they would be foolish to remove backwards compatibility too.
As for Sony wiimote. I assume it will not really be utilized by third party except to make party games and Wii game knock offs and Sony themselves might make some kind of demo. It will fade into obscurity and be forgotten.
Sony copy everything. The PS one controller is a SNES controller + 2 extra triggers.
The analogue sticks were copied off the N64 controller
The Dual Shock took the Rumble Pack (stupid move nintendo, keeping the rumble pack seperate)
I assume they copied analogue buttons from somebody
Then it came out that they stole the Dual shock design from a different company!
And now they have wii motes, in black, with a silly looking light on the top…
