Nintendo will always be copied off of, it's been happening since the beginning of time.

To make something better than the wii is difficult (not graphics) and yes, if they want to continue in the market they have to do that.

I say it's still hard to say whether it'll be copied. I mean right now the wiimote stuff is cool and all that but it would really suck of MS or Sony decide to make some supped up Wii. Also, while I really love the idea of the wiimote, I think I need to physically experience how everything is handled. Will I become fatigue trying to aim the thing? Will it be as natural as using a mouse? (if it is, it'll definitely fly as an alternative input method).

As for something better, and I hope nintendo makes this viable to the end users, would be having a 3D virtual visor. Which can correspond to maybe the joystick + wiimote to do some sort of walk around in a 3D environment with "enough", but not too much body movement. I think that'll be something that's better. As long as there's not neuro interface, that's just too freaky... sort of like .hack/sign, the anime.

Nintendo has always been copied. It always brings the new ideas and then they are copied.

Just Forget WHat I Said about That...

its a good question, but i reckon yes. i mean, if the wiimote is "bug free" and works well, then why wouldn't sony and microsoft hop on the bandwagon?
they will of course put it in a new looking controller and claim it as one of their new developments but hey, thats the business world for you.
p.s. hey maanas!
