Thank the rudeness of Sony and Microsoft for the rise of Nintendo

When I read this article, my respect for Sony and Microsoft dropped even lower. Tom Quinn, the guy that invented the motion control found in Wiimotes, first introduced his invention to Nintendo's competitors, but they didn't think it was a good idea to bring into gaming. Not wanting to take the risk is one thing, but look at how they reacted to his pitch.

When he approached the Microsoft Xbox team: “They were just rude.” The team said that, if they wanted to do motion control, they’d do it themselves, but better.

Then he approached Sony's Ken Kataragi: “I swear this is true – he closed his eyes the moment I started showing my pitch. He never opened them until I had finished” In the end Kataragi replied:“well, can you produce this for 50 cents?”

Kinda worked out for Nintendo and us don't cha think?

All speculation to me, it sounds.

BUT I'm glad Nintendo's devs jumped on it and gave us the great ideas.
Son'y motion controls are slightly higher tech, but ultimately under-utilized in my opinion. There are certainly no Skyward Swords for PS3 that I've found.

Regardless whether you liked SS or not, there is no denying the polish and focus on motion control. Is there a Sony game to counter its use of revolutionary motion control? Waiting for that answer...

That said I'm thinking of taking the dive into Move... worth it, Triz? Any Move games worth trying barring WiiSports clones?

I ditched my move setup last year. The only good game I played was Sports Champions. The rest, meh. Much like Kinect it just doesnt do it for me.

I thought Sports Champions was better than Wii Sports. I also agree that Move is better than WiiMotion Plus, albeit not by much. And I agree that it wasn't utilized or supported enough which helped it die a slow death. I'll stop agreeing now.
