Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto has dismissed Microsoft’s Project Natal and Sony’s Move motion controllers as mere copies of the Wii.
In comments to the press, the creator of Mario and Zelda subtly alluded to the less than original conception of Microsoft and Sony’s new controllers:
“Whenever something we have created and presented is followed by copies, we always feel it is threatening.
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.”
More surprising than these remarks is that Nintendo has not been able to tie up the two competitors in endless rounds of patent litigation – perhaps a strategic blunder on Nintendo’s part, not that either competitor seems to present a real threat to the Wii.
I have the PlayStation Move and, honestly, it’s pretty awful. It keeps miscalibrating, especially in games like Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles and House of the Dead 4. Nintendo’s Wii remote is not perfect even with Plus but at least the pointer stays on target instead of constantly drifting.
omg an absolute 1:1 copy.
just pathetic.
Two future failing product, may be…two future hack products that can be use anywhere, win!
for as long as motion controllers lack force feed back they will always be s♥♥t
I see where they’re coming from accusing Move of being a Wii copy, but Natal seems more like an Eyetoy copy to me.
