If Wii Is So Bad Why Did Sony and Microsoft Copy Nintendo ?

First in the early 90's Nintendo releases the N-64 with an analog thumbstick and rumble pak, then in years to follow Playstation and Sega Dreamcast controllers included thumbsticks on there controllers with rumble pak.

Fast forward to the present Nintendo Wii introduces motion control to the world and almost immediately gets ridiculed by Sony and Microsoft fans for making a gimmicky control interface in order to stir curiosity, but then Wii sales go through the roof and more than double that of 360 and PS3 sales.

All of a sudden the Wii isn't such a joke any more, and sure enough what do Sony and Microsoft do ? what else, they try and copy from the innovative Nintendo and get a piece of what people obviously want with there gaming....motion controls.

Now Nintendo is innovating there portable by making the first 3D portable using the first 3D technology that doesn't require 3D glasses.

So you can pretty much guarantee Nintendo will somehow reinvent how we play games yet again with there next console to follow the Wii.

You see Nintendo not only makes phenomenally fun 1st party games, they constantly reinvent the way we play them to make the experience even better.

So keep your FPS library, and your costly online service, and HD graphics, none of it compares to the constant renewed fun we get from Nintendo's innovative hardware controls and reinvigorated 1st party titles that will always out rate and out sell the competition.

LOL Super Mario Galaxy series is still one of if not thee highest rated titles on gamerankings.com, above the Halo's, Call of Duty's, Mass Effects, Resistance's, Fable's and more.

I for one think thats pretty amazing.

Because at the rate they were going, Sony and MS's combined awesome rating would have caused the world to implode so they had to copy something beneath them to save the planet.

They're pretty selfless, right?

wii is not bad , other wise it would not sell 800 k units in a week ! add dses 900 k /1.5 million in us on thanksgivin week alone

and if it was so bad it wouldnth ave the highest rated game -super mario galaxy 2 this year , as for gta iv everyone knows how it is the most overrated game this gen

also with goldeneye dkc4 redsteel 2 nmh2 etc the complaints it has no hardcore games is offically irrelevent

i dont know if you dont know this goldeneye surpassed cod mw r sales in one week

They are the father of gaming.

1. its was 250 dollars when released.

2.it was advertised and made for a sector of the consumer base that A. had never played games before. B. were unknowing parents and grand parents. C.as a family friendly console. D. had the motion sensing gimmick

Those both insured it would get a lot of sales and upon seeing this Microsoft and Sony wanted to get in on those sales...Is it because its a quality peice of hardware? no, Because its powerful? no, Because it has good games?, No. sales mean quite allot...infact no matter what people say sales matter the most. Sales dictate more then scores, power, orpotential.
