Harrison: We didn't steal Nintendo's idea

[Miria]

Man just because Sony's got most of the sharemarket doesnt mean they own. Check them out saying that the had their own little innovative idea.

Yeah Rite Sony you never make anything yourselves. There were many systems out there that had 3d Graphics than you. So get Real stop telling customers shant and I hope your empire falls. The Wii-volution comes..... Are you ready???

There motion sensor is just a straight rip off from Nintendo. There pricing is whacked and needs a bashing. Now there are saying "You Don't need computers because the PS3 can do many things and more than what a PC can do".

How dare they.

Jeez Nintendo fanboi's really are losers. Who really cares about all this, every company takes ideas from others it's the way things move forward.. Nintendo have looked at Eye Toy and taken it in a different direction, how innovative of them. Oh and Jumping Flash was the first 3d platformer not Super Mario 64.

Though Microsoft tend to just buy other companies ideas then market them as their own.

Nintendo dosnt have "fanboi's" we are just in it for the fun. The only company that really has "fanboi's" would be sony. The majority of nintendo supporters and owners most likely own another console (cheapshot: due to the fact that we can afford it). This is far from the first thing nintendo has came up with to revolutionize the market also. I recall a certain machine using a gamepad rather than a joystick to the dismay of many gamers at the time. The basics of DDR were done with Track and Field. Not sure if the BS device was arround before sega channel, but you get the idea...

As for the eyetoy... it is an innovative device... but it sure as hell is in no way, shape, or form even somewhat closely related to the so called "wii-mote". Also many people are under the impression that the eyetoy really had no support. Personally when i heard about it, I thought it was pretty cool. It seems that most people wont give the eyetoy the time of day.. Some people dont realize what a cool thing they have untill its too late.

Last no one in this thread has claimed Mario 64 was the first 3d platformer... though many people concider it to be the first amazing one.. this is probably why some people concider it to be the first one in existence.

And agreed with the Microsoft comment. What seperates them from Sony is that MS dosnt claim they dont steal ideas.

It's called jumping on the bandwagon and if NO companies did it we wouldn't have had the x-box or ps1 or many of the consoles we've known and loved. If one particular company has an innovative idea, the others imitate, that's life.

This can only be good for gamers like us as this competion pushes the various companies against each other to innovate more, which is to our benefit.

Look at the DS, Nintendo took what was basically a PDA control system (Touchscreen technology) and applied it to gaming, the result a fantastic and original gaming experience. I say keep on imitating as this will make competitors strive to improve on each others ideas to bring us gamers the best experience of all FUN GAMES and thats ALL that matters !!!!!

[DirtyDevil]

omfg $ony u really blew it this time.... and oh yeah, the eye-toy wasnt sony's idea, it was Intel's. my mom got this Intel webcam way back like 5 years ago and it had some games with it: Shoop, a basketball game where you used your hands with the camera to get the ball in the hoops on either side. and another game where there was bubbles with tools like hammers, wrenches ect. in them and bubbles with nothing in them and whenever you popped a bubble with a tool in it the tool would do somthing (e.g. the hammer would pound on the camera veiw square like it was pounding a nail) and give you a point or 2 but if u hit an empty bubble u lost a point. point is: $ony is a copycat.

$ony is basicly saying in what they said:
we didnt copy nintendo, nintendo copied us. <-- BS

As long as we get two great console's out of all this, I couldn't care less about who copied who

Every one needs to stop pointing the blame finger at each other.

in my personal opinion. Microsoft is the odd man out, trying to be buddy buddy with nintendo because they cant get any good games out...

Nintendo went to the high road, trying to support, guess who! its customers, the gameplay demos they showed at E3 offered a great presentation of what promises to be a worth wile purchase for a great price.

Sony sitting back thinking because the technology is great they have a good deal. the problem is. when you make a game that can show what used to be cinimatics, into realtime... you create not only a higher hardware cost... but a higher development cost because of the content. And when the team has to make higher quality content for the same price... they tend to cut corners on other things. some of these include, but are not limited to...

gamplay, project planning, game length, bug testing, gameplay testing, ect...

which as some of you have seen in the PSP titles where they have already done some of that, you will begin to wonder...

[stotheamuel]

i dont think they stole it...its very different.. and i think they didnt just sit there on there asses after they lost against immersion corp. w. rumble...

this most likely CAME UP at the very least.. and this is much before nintendo introduced the wii controller

if anything they decided to CARRY through w. it after nintendo launched wii promotions but i bet the idea was still on the top of the list because with no new features.. and a loss of another feature.. the controller would have been lame
