Sony - with a straight face

Well, no, Nintendo was the innovator as they were the first to come up with the idea of implementing this type of technology in a MAJOR WAY onto the console scene. Everyone knows this technology has been around for 10+ years, it's no real reavolution except in the way it's being implemented.

As soon as Sony found out what Nintendo had done, they threw away the boomarang controllers and "mimicked" Nintendo in a very lame way. If you look at the timeline of the last year, it's obvious that Sony did this, but really, it's not a big deal considering the differences in both technologies and the fact that neither company came up with their respective parts first (in the grand scheme of things).

Well.. and it's also due to the 'dualshock' issue.

But it says right there that they invented a 'motion tilt technology' to be specifically implimented into a controller. It says so right in that article. The Wii controller could have provoked them to refine the technology, but far from pushing it to be on the controller. The boomerang design was ditched due to hugely negative feedback.
 
True, however do you really think that they would have bothered to put the motion technology into the controllers if Nintendo didn't have that similar technology?
 
From that update, I would think so. I guess we'll never know, but the dualshock technology would not be part of the PS3 controller (vibration). So I'd guess they'd put something in lew of the missing technology.
 
Meh - some part of me thinks that they're not that innovative. And this is not from a !!!!!!, but just based on Sony's actions over the last decade. But you're right, we'll never know for sure so there's no need to waste time arguing over it.



edit - wow, I didn't know f a n b o y was an illegal word. hehe, that's kinda funny

So what it's a good feature! would you really have them leave cool stuff out just to make you feel good and so that it's not as good as it could be?
 
So when I throw my ps3 controller at the wall in frustration..
the tilt sensor will function like a pinball machine?
Thats an awesome forced feedback..

A big TILT sign will flash on the screen?

But what if.. that information is wirelessly transmitted
to a data firm.. Where politicians use the information
to "prove" video games really causes violence!

Holy ass it all makes sense!

OH MY GOD!

TIN FOIL HATS ON!

*on a slightly less idiotic note..
Sony is gonna have to hit the ground running if they are gonna survive this round.
Nintendo with innovation and Microsoft with a huge headstart and better price/performance.
 
Why does the Sony controller lose the rumble because it screws up the sensors, but rumble isn't a problem for the Wii controller? Or does the Wii controller only rumble on the Nunchuk?

Some say it's the sensors while others say it's because of that lawsuit they lost. I'm convinced it's the lawsuit.
