I love this article

www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/11/the_wii_was_born_thanks_to_microsoft_and_sonys_rejection

Seems That Microsoft AND Sony had a chance to be what the Wii was and the Wii U is still capitalizing on.

That was old news, and was revealed 3 or 4 years ago.
Also, Nintendo was offered Kinect but they turned it down.

LOL "The attitude I got from them was that if they wanted to do motion control, they would do it themselves and make a better job of it"
I don't think so Microsoft......

And rightly so. Games just don't really work for that thing.

Anybody else find it ironic that the way the representatives for Microsoft and Sony are almost identical in nature to the Sonydrones/Xbots?

It only makes me wonder what Nintendo's 7th Home console would be like

I like how Nintendo ends up with one of the best selling consoles in history due to lack of ignorance. :3

im glad they didn't pass up using the tech as it helped them prosper greatly, but i would have loved to see what the console would have been like without the motion controls.

also i like how quickly this topic went from talking about Microsoft and Sony's ignorance, to bashing the two companies and their consumers.

keep it classy Nintendo fans.

Nintendo would've made it work.

Ignorance isn't the right way to put it, not even Nintendo knew how successful motion controls would become.

And rightly so. Games just don't really work for that thing.

To be honest, Kinect seems to have achieved what the Wii sought out to do more successfully. Not sales-wise of course but in terms of getting gamers active the Kinect is a heck of a lot better than the Wii.

I'm not a fan of motion control gimmickry either way so while Kinect really limits the experiences it can offer I don't find the Wii's motion oriented games to be much, if any, better.

This statement is false. The previous statement is true.

RIP in peace Nintendo.

Nintendo$, $ony, & Micro$oft are all ignorant. They are bloody companies out to bend, lie, and cheat. All so they can make you feel all specially related some how to them to bank in your cash. If you dislike one for said behavior, you might as well dislike them all.

Nintendo would've made it work.

How exactly? It would have been the same tech offered to them from a means of a third party. Not like Nintendo could have really managed much of a difference in results.

QFT, I would have to totally agree. It really all depends on the game you get. Some could do the job fairly and others just drove you crazy.

Rise of Nightmares still annoys me to this day. Always turning to far or something. As for the Wii I was never a big fan of some shooters, for example, RedSteel when I got my Wii (on launch) was clunky feeling. Not to mention the Wii for sure is not made for super fast movement. At the end of the day motion controls kind of suck & even Nintendo sort of shows it with a lot of their games. Sort of by not using anything other than a controller flick to jump or maybe a form of attack your not required to aim with.

With good software.

The hardware would still limit them. They'd just end up making on rails Metroid and Starfox as well as other sports games that Kinect already has.

They don't have to be on rails.

The hardware doesn't really allow for much more than on rails and sports games.
