Nintendo arrived with their Motion Controls back in 2006 and instantly made history, broke sales records multiple times, generated envy and inevitably some companies tried to mimic the success of such a creation, some weeks, months and even way many years after the arrival of the Wii console.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and we are sure that Nintendo is a company very flattered. This thread will be updated as new material pops in.

Vonboy, there's more out there most likely, but those were the "only" ones I could find in 1 hour of google mashing.

Damn, this is amusing.

I just spent 20 minutes reading how kotaku's shameful Sony love has made them look the hypocrites, i guess they don't agree with you Bamboleo



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

I'd like to had some Sony quote about the Wii remote from 2007 maybe:

"I think the notion of that controller is a non-trivial point that you’ve brought up, that control and that familiarity is like comfort food - from my perspective, we lead, we don’t follow. And as a brand, Nintendo’s got their thing, and we’re not trying to get the senior citizen group to get into gaming"

", but we’d never consider iterating off of existing competitive technology - because we think that’s a fad and that’s not the way we approach product development. It’s not the way we approach the marketing or the branding of PlayStation."

It's just that simple.

The level of epic buthurt by the internet, and all gaming media and game companies is just wonderful.
