After Nintendo UK head honcho's commentary on Sony's controller for the PlayStation 3, which incorporates basic motion-sensing technology, EAD senior managing director and general manager Shigeru Miyamoto's considerably more diplomatic commentary on the same issue has surfaced, courtesy The Toronto Sun.
"It's kind of what always seems to happen," Miyamoto said. "But the fact that they looked at what we were doing and decided it was a good path is kind of flattering; it kind of reinforces in our minds that we're doing the right thing.
"What they've done is just take your standard controller and add in this motion-sensing device — that's similar to what we did back on the Game Boy Color many years ago. Maybe if they were to completely copy and go with a remote and a nunchuk and two motion sensors, I might be a little more concerned. But I don't think they're anywhere close to that."
