sony is desperate to make money, so they're making more hardware for their best selling system, I can't even imagine how much a ps4 would cost. let me guess 6k,now they would really go bankrupt.

GB camera predates Eyetoy. :P

Functionally, this patent is replicating what the Wii's IR sensor does with a different method, but it's pretty obvious where the inspiration came from.

Nintendo rarely invents, but they are the core innovator when it comes to console controllers. Sony's always followed their lead, from the SNES style button symmetry, to analog sticks, to tilt sensors. This is just the logical next step, screen aiming's probably the Wii controller's most successful addition in games and it was just a matter of time until we saw the competition add it as well.

Notice that the NES came out at least a full decade before any other major players in the market today.

Eyetoy has existed ever since the PS2. This product is designed to make motion tracking with the Eyetoy even easier.

I don't see how this is ripping off the Wii since the Eyetoy came out first with motion tracking.

If you're talking about the wand stick thing, that's only an example of what you could use. You could use the rings instead or maybe even combine them.

notice that after Atari, everything stems from Nintendo.
lol
And Nintendo's was barely based off Atari's controller, if at all.

I'd love to see this but I don't know about originality, I feel they should go back to the drawing board with this and think of something better.

But who knows they're probably far ahead of me, with some Little Big Planet-esque game in the works ready to make this controller into the next best thing.

Don't be a tool... Virtually everything hardware related in video games has been "borrowed" from the past. Why reinvent the wheel?

Don't believe me? Look at the history of game controllers.

They always steal Wii's idea. Unfair.

Sounds more like something for PS4 imo. There's a reason the Wiimote wasn't a GCN add-on in the end…
