Miyamoto Says Sony Controller is 'Flattering'

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday May 24, 2006 @06:29AM from the quite-the-understater dept.

GamesIndustry.biz describes an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, in which the designer refers to the PS3 controller as 'flattering'. From the article: "... 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."

FTA:
Miyamoto went on to discuss Sony and Microsoft's showings at E3, stating: "They're talking about the next generation of the same old videogames - it's the same old experiences with new graphics."
Kind of hypocritical given Nintendo's track record of Mario platformers, racers, beat-em-ups and tennis games, along with the neverending Zelda series and the myriad Pokemon versions.
