Thi9s is just like a tracking camera device, NOT a motion con troller at all... you just "draw" figures and the device detect's them and then according to which figure you draw the game performs an action... a motion controller is something very very different...

Guess what, peeps? The SEGA Dreamcast had PROPER motion controls four years before THIS! Look it up. You could play SEGA Bass Fishing, Virtua Tennis and Soul Calibur with a motion-control-using fishing rod. No joke. Search "Dreamcast Motion Controller" at the search bar and see for urselves! (I hate how SEGA are always ignored for innovative stuff like this. It happens all the time, I swear.)

@fareedbakhit - Great point, I agree with you 100% :-) But I would add, I always say that no-one is 'stealing'. Technology is about progress, it's about taking old tech and improving it, making it faster, cheaper, more powerful, more features/capabilities etc, and that applies to all the tech we own today, from our phones to our TVs to even our cars. Console tech is no different, hence Kinect is a basically an enhanced EyeToy, Move an enhanced Wiimote. So as you said, let's just enjoy them :)

@MTMind2 well at the end we the users should not fight on who is stealing whos idea so what if sony's is stealing nintendos wiimote so what if nintendo have stealing the early idea of the ps1 and take it to philips to create the philips CD-i so what!

as long as we all having fun on our console we should not bother on these thing as they say let those companys do the fight and invent stuff & games and we will get them and had some fun with them even though some of these thing is not so fun.

@fareedbakhit - Google "Nintendo Gyration 2001" and notice that Nintendo started with a prototype which became the Wiimote back when Sony still only looked at webcam tracking. Sony didn't begin the Move wand until 2008, so being more recent you'd expect it to be more accurate, not less. Both use a cam, light and wand combo! The Wiimote actually has a mini-cam at the end which tracks the IR lights in the sensor bar by your TV. Move reverses this, with the cam by your TV and the light on the wand.

@MTMind2 not a hater or a fanboy i like all game console but it's still a sony's idea in the first place plus the ps move is more accuracy than the wiimote due to the ps3 camera the ps eye but for nintendo and there wiimote nintendo should go & used a camera with the wii insted of that long thing that came with the wii or the " plus " thing that you plug on your wiimote to make it more motion tracking.

@fareedbakhit - As the previous post says, that's just webcam tracking. It's no more PS Move than Camspace for PCs;

Sony's Richard Marks had the idea for webcam tracking in games, but they found it was limited, and so it was never used for games. Then Wii came along and showed Sony the solution, which is not to rely 100% on a webcam, but to put as much of the tracking as you can INSIDE a controller. Sony took that idea, mixed it with their webcam tech and created PS Move.
