@illegal_peanut: Considering motion control in games have been around since at least the 80s, it really is. The Power Glove on NES is the first one that comes to mind. They had weird concepts like the Sega Activator that sucked, but the idea has been around for ages. The Wii is the first one I can think of that worked fairly well, and that came out 14 years ago. You'd think it would be easy to get this right by now.
"Sony's lawyers told us it was their opinion [that] Sony's intellectual property extended to the faceplates." Does that not include controllers and other 3rd party hardware? How do companies offer these without legal trouble but not faceplates?
