Miyamoto calls Move and Natal copies
In a recent interview Shigeru Miyamoto described the rush into the motion controller market by Sony and Microsoft a threatening behavior. Though he didn't stop there, he also wanted to clarify that motion controlled gaming was something that Nintendo created.
“Whenever something we have created and presented is followed by copies, we always feel it is threatening,” said the dev legend.
“More than that, we’re concerned that others are trying to do something similar for the sake of it. It’s not encouraging to Nintendo.” - EDGE

Makes no sense. From what I have heard Sony was developing Move technology long before Nintendo Wii was even made. Plus Sony had the Eye Toy a long time ago. Nintendo just made motion control extremely popular, they didn’t create it.

Dude, in the world of business the company that creates first, invents first. Anyone can say, “well we started it before you,” or “I invented that,” but if I didn’t bring it out on the market or display it to the public then I look like a liar. Nintendo invented motion control before anyone else. There should be no argument on this as it is quite obvious. Miyamoto has a right to call them copycats too. Remember when Sony and Microsoft were calling this whole idea nothing but a gimmick? And most of YOU were too, don’t forget that. Think about it.

1) the saturn was released before the Ps1 and it used CD’s. In fact the Sega CD add on for the Genisis came before the saturn even.
2) Nintendo outsourced development of a CD based add on for the SNES, which went on to become the playstation….

Generally all of Nintendo’s controller innovations have been copied by their competitors. D-pad, Annalog stick, standard wireless controll pad and now motion controlls. Nintendo have always said they pionner in control interfaces as opposed to console technology, thats why they use discs. Look at the companies history in console manufacturing every second system is a evolution of the one preivous. SNES evolution form NES, GameCube evolution from N64. I’m refiring to their controller input for these respected systems, not the systems themselves.

Also, keep in mind that Nintendo was the first to really do 3D gaming (not stereoscopic) with SM64, and they also invented rumble. :0)

Nintendo and their horse s**t again! They just put a wand on the console market, they didnt invent it!! And @LBrtize………. they DID NOT invent rumble!! But neither did sony! EVERYONE copies off everyone from the caveman who modified his fire who he learned to make from his neighbour, Bill Gates with his windows GUI he copied from Apple. But the nintendo dude does make a point………….. loads of s**t has been copied from them! But they should have taken Sony up on their offer when they were presented with a disc based format, silly twats thought cartridges were still the way to go! But thank GOD they didnt, or we wouldnt have games like GTA!!
