Instead they just ripped off the motion sensor thing that the Sega Genisis had made for that lame Eternal Champions game. :P<br /><br />Besides that, motion sensoring is not anything new to videogames. Companies have been trying to develop new ways to play games since the 70&#39;s, when arcade&#39;s were big. For example many concepts for 3D games were created back in the 80&#39;s on arcade systems, though some would argue that Sony, Sega, or Nintendo were the first.Swordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17505664584347151003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-3302414084396476012009-06-07T10:18:50.007-07:002009-06-07T10:18:50.007-07:00Two posts complaining about the same thing.<br /><br />Lame<br /><br />We get it, they are saying they didn&#39;t get the idea from the wii. Its a sensor thing that picks up your whole body movements just like the wii picks up a signal from a wiimote when you shake it and stuff.<br /><br />Did the wii ever come out and say they took the idea for their whole console from the eye toy?

It just didn&#39;t use it as inspiration.<br /><br />Given that it operates much much much differently than the Wii does, it&#39;s pretty obvious they didn&#39;t just rip it off.Codexxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13072845602400859011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-55805212188049573482009-06-06T23:39:13.473-07:002009-06-06T23:39:13.473-07:00Just to play the devil&#39;s advocate:<br /><br />Microsoft admitting they copied the Wiimote would be patent infringement (of sorts). They would get their asses sued off, or at least have to waste a bunch of money on legalities in a lawsuit (which admittedly Apple wouldn&#39;t win). And Apple would have more fodder for the Macboy cannon.

Why must you lie and embellish in a vapid attempt to impress us? <br /><br />Listen, it&#39;s ok, we get it. Competing in today&#39;s videogame market is hard. Sometimes you gotta hit a low and take a few points from the opposition. It&#39;s the whole point of innovation. And you know what? It´s ok.<br /><br />Newton didn&#39;t try to make his readers believe that universal gravitation was apparent to him. We all know the apple story. If he got over it, so can you.<br /><br />It&#39;s pretty obvious you believe we suffer from some sort of brain-damage, if you expect us to believe this crock. <br /><br />Look, I&#39;ll be just as impressed if you actually make a product superior to the Wii&#39;s motion control.<br /><br />What&#39;s not gonna impress me is you trying to sell me on the fact that it came to you in a frickin&#39; dream.<br /><br />Don&#39;t do that, Microsoft.
