Oh give it up. Blah blah blah Sony copies other people therefore they suck blah. Who cares.Doomulation said:Oh, please. Read carefully here.
Sony has never had a centralized online service. It was up to each company to make one available. Xbox got one online service from microsoft and instantly it became popular. Next, we see Sony saying that they will include one such service for the PS3. But only AFTER Microsoft had put it with their Xbox 360.
We see the sony's controller which they've probably been using for all these years they've spent developing the system. Last year, what did we see? Certainly not a motion sensor control. This year? Oh yes, it has sensor capabilities after that Nintendo at Tokyo Game Show revealed their controller.
And oh, hey! The controller looks completely different! I wonder... was it because they needed to rebuild it to make use of motion sensor? And I wonder why the rumble was left out...
To me - it makes sense. Sony copied it. They made a new controller prototype to copy nintendo. Because sony knew that nintendo's controller was very "revolutionizing."
It seems clear to me that when Sony finds that something "works well" or is "revolutionzing" or "cool," then they steal the idea for themselves. Come up with your own ideas for once, you stupid bastards! They can't even give their console a new name. Hey, I mean, even Microsoft didn't name the Xbox Xbox 2, but rather Xbox 360 - a new name with a significance. What significance is there in Playstation 3? Pathetic.
It's good that Sony realized online service was something people wanted and are implementing it. They waited for some other company, Microsoft, to test the waters first, so what? It'd be stupid NOT to put it in, more so after seeing the success of Xbox Live. Giving people what they want is a good thing.
Sony didn't copy Nintendo. Do you really think they could achieve the same level of technology so quickly? If the remote is anything new (and it seems to be), then Nintendo will have patents on it. The PS3's motion-sensing isn't going to be the same as the Wii's at all. You can stop worrying.
What Sony is doing is trying to cash in on the hype... steal some of Nintendo's spotlight. Fool a few parents into thinking that the PS3 "has motion-sensing too! Plus it plays blu-ray" etc. Pure marketing. It probably won't be used with many PS3 games, whereas with the Wii, it's the whole point.
