How can it possibly be a Wii-killer if it isn't standard? Nintendo are right. Not enough premium software will support it and it is doubtful that anything beyond novelty software (like Eye-toy) would take advantage of it.

The most this could achieve is provide non-Wii owning gamers a "me-too" factor to their arsenal.

But at a premium.

I think Nitendo are the only company that have enough innovation & quirky ideas to give motion senser based games the milage they need, they've proved that with the DS touch screen.

I agree. It'll be a novelty for other machines, as very few developers will put a pure focus on it. Of course, if Sony or Microsoft were to buy these guys out and make the kit a standard for their machine, then, yeah, Nintendo has come competition. And maybe, maybe, somebody like Rockstar would make a table tennis game that used this hardware specifically, that's be great fun.

But no.

but it could take off; for example should sony jump on this, bring the company into the inner circle and really make a go of producing a whole catalogue of compatible games, nintendo could have a problem

sony obviously like the direction that nintendo are going in, nintendo are being lauded for being innovative and fresh and fun and as sony's 'homage' controller shows they want a finger in that pie. sony get to use more basic hardware in their controller so theyve got a fingertip in the pie but their minor feature is really quite a non-commital one whilst they see how the wii's full motion sensing offering goes down with the public

if motion sensing is going to take the world by storm, or even if sony just thinks it could, they might do something with this

I suppose they are thinking that a lot of companies might support it as they will have games that already take advantage of the technology on the Wii and it shouldn't be to hard to then port that over to a 360 or PS3 with the use of the fusion.
