The headline is misleading. And if that was arrogance, then what was Microsoft's "waggle" comment during the E3 presentation?

It's not really arrogance, but it is trash-talking the competition though.
But what people should always keep in their mind, Nintendo and especially Reggie knows and applies both Disruption and Blue Ocean strategies and see moves of their competitors in that light. And he is right, right about now, MS and Sony's tech is just that, tech. There's no game attached to it. So how can it be fun?

Nintendo has always shown games with their controllers and you could play them the very next day (expect that Vitality sensor thing). And also, Wiimotion Plus is in its basics better then both MS and Sony techs simply because Wiimotion Plus can read the force applied behind the motion, camera's just track the results: speed and change in space.

Natal and the PS3 wands won't be able to do something as basketball, ping pong or tennis as accurate as Wiimotion Plus because of Newton's laws.

Why doesn't Spong make a newsthing about that? Show that gaming journalism isn't full of idiots.

Except the PS3 wand thingie has internal sensors in it. Also both PS3-Wand and Natal can track in 3d space, so can figure out speed and acceloration and there fore get force.


Because there's no story?

'Who's got the prettiest picture. Who's got high-definition. Who has the best processing power?'

Sony & MS do and now they have your main factor, Madworld in HD!, sounds like fun to me Reggie.

Even if you mention newton's laws, you think people will start thinking to use the basics. No they can't. Very simple example, stand up and press down on the floor with your left leg without your right foot leaving the floor. Now you're doing something that motion tracking (Natal and PS3 wands) can't detect but motion sensing (Wiimote, Balance Board) can...a force that can lead to motion.

Natal and the PS3 wands just know that you may have slightly tilted your balance but never why. Basic fysics, you cannot know the force behind a object if you only know its speed or chainging positions, you also need to know it's mass, aerodynamic features and so forth. The Wii circumvents this by detecting the very source of motion, force.

@ haritori, Madworld would bomb even worse on HD-consoles just like Killer 7 on the PS2, or jet set radio on the Xbox (well actually, every game with arty colour shemes bombs by default on xbox-consoles), or Okami on the PS2 or Viewtifull Joe on the PS2 and so forth. And the first three things didn't do them much untill now did it...sheesh.
