Nintendo really has every right to be paranoid. To be copied this soon is insane. From now on they should reveil something only if they plan to release it the following day.

I'll post what I posted earlier

Wouldn't it be funny if Nintendo suddenly said "hahah, that was our fake secret controller, that idea was destined for failure" and then they go back to copying the dual shock controller.

I wonder if Sony would follow Nintendo? Most likely.

If anything what Sony have done with their controller shows that they are concerned with Nintendo being in this generation gaming and they will try anything to stop them....this is where they may lose out. They shoulda stuck with the original banana controller.

i doubt the boomerang controller woulda had rumble in it either.

im pretty sure rumble was NOT taken out for the motion sensing, i think motion sensing was put in to hide the missing rumble because of the lawsuit.

Originally I was really excited about the PS3, but after that press conference I feel kinda bummed. They were meandering all over the place and it wasn't clear what they were trying to accomplish. Hopefully things will pick up as E3 continues and we see the playable demos.

i foget the companties name... immersion? something like that.. sued both MS and Sony saying they used thier force feedback technology in thier controllers.

MS had the smarts to settle outta court.
Sony had the balls to fight it.

MS settled and payed them i dont know how much, plus licensing fees for using it. Sony Lost, appealed. and i believe lost the appeal.

I watched the conference. Well, I skipped the boring "we'll show you a souped up version of GT for 15 minutes" parts.

Man that thing was boring.

Because I hoped it would be funny, like the 1-minute thing. =) I laughed at Ridge Racer - Riiiiiiidge Racerrrrrrr!..... it was a ROM!!!!! >.<

And all the noobs who don't know how to play... or games that aren't finished yet and you can see it.... or a certain air combat game that looks impossible to play due to oversensitive controls.

I may be wrong about some things, but that's just the impression I got from the presentation.
