Sony Press Conference (discussion and live stream)

Because your argument is flawed! Are you seriously trying to imply that there's nothing odd about Sony suddenly anouncing a tacked on motion sensing feature now that it's established that it's Wii's main selling point?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Nintendos own incompetency is what sets them back from being number one, not anyone else. PS2 was arguably the weakest of the last gen consoles, and yet it was a complete powerhouse. Obviously this is somehow related to them ripping off Nintendo all the time.

It's not even the same fucking thing. From the looks of it it's a gyro whereas the TV remote is a complete motion sensor.

Look this isn't about the reasons leading to Nintendo's failure. I'm talking about this case in particular. (I'm sure Nintendo has made a lot of mistakes that harmed them) When it comes down to it, what Sony did here totally comes off as a cheap, rip-off. They copied an idea but are making it available in what seems like a more limited functionality only to shoot back at Nintendo. Unless they have something substantialy new to offer with this whole "free movement" deal, they should not mess with it.

GG in court though hahaha they got owned hardcore.

Double Post:


As has been proved by several other posters, the TV remote and the Dual Shocks new features are two completely different things.

Pay attention.

That was just recently pointed out. Also, they're different as in, one(Wiimote) seems to have a lot more capabalities than the other(PS3's controler) in that it offers actual 3D movement, vibration, and a speaker right on the remote for sound effects that have to do with movement and what not.

I was speaking idiomatically.

You're still not listening.

Um, yeah, I tend to filter out piontless blabber.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

For someone talking about not listening, you sure seem to exercise a lot of "selective reading".

FELIPE NO

WHY ARE YOU INCAPABLE OF CALLING IT A CONTROLLER LIKE NORMAL ADULTS

Ahem:
Wiimote


Have a sense of humor will you? It's a gaming console, it can sound silly.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

There's a distinct line between "silly" and "fucking retarded," and it's obvious that you can't tell the difference.

Oh right, just because you don't seem to find the term WIIMOTE amusing, I shall stop, because apperantly you're the only one who is able to be exposed to the word WIIMOTE. It doesn't matter if some of us out there like the term WIIMOTE. Oh no. You hate WIIMOTE, so that means WIIMOTE is no more. If you don't like it, move on. WIIMOTE.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Deleted at Acer's request to not irritate Merv anymore than he is over the usage of the term wiimote.

How ya doing, buddy?

That makes the higher end model a lot more tempting. But urgh... 549 is still pretty steep.
