Sony patents LED-infused, motion-tracking controller

and who can forget the eyetoy camera, i knows its not like the sixaxis or the wii-mote but it was still cool.

I played around with the eyetoy camera for a while at a friends house.
It might have been the game he had or something but the whole experience really sucked. No real accuracy and lame games....
Not that original either, since I've seen similar things being used on Tv gameshows and arcades.


and you really should give nintendo some credit for influencing the way we play (or played) games.
Shoulder buttons, analogue sticks, rumble, cordless controllers..... as far as I know Nintendo was first with them all and they where standard on all last-gen console controllers (with exception for cordless) and most of this gen consoles.

to sonys credit I think they where first with DDR and singstar type games

:rofl:

Short memory? It seems to me that Sony would not have entered the market if Nintendo had not given them all the info they had about making games.

Dont think Nintendo influenced Sony in controller design?

Well, look at the button layout on the PS1. Looks like the SNES. Also, the control ports on the PS1 and PS2 look very similar to the SNES.

If sony could design a system, they would have innovation of their own.

Thanks for proving my point, again.
