Nintendo Unconcerned By Motion-Control Competitors

Posted by Soulskill on from the it's-not-the-size-of-the-boat dept.

The Guardian's games blog reports on comments by Nintendo discussing why it's not worried about competition from Microsoft and Sony after their recent motion-control announcements at E3. Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime said, "The only thing I'll say is a rhetorical question. Is it fun? If it's fun, then I tip my hat and say, 'Well done.' But what's happening sounds to me a lot like, 'Who's got the prettiest picture. Who's got high-definition. Who has the best processing power?' It sounds like technology, when the consumer wants to be entertained. Our focus is how do we take active play and make it entertainment. And that's what we're going to continue to focus on."

    XBOX kicks ass, but not thanks to Micro$hit. All thanks to XBMC. Oh and what goes for playing games, it's ok, but us that use XBMC know that it's no longer a gaming console once you have installed said software. However since it is Micro$hit that makes the console they of course tried their very hardest to prevent anything like XBMC coming to 360. God forbid Micro$hit to release a good product.

    And thats why nintendo kicks the crap out of the competition every generation.

    And the rest of your comment is pretty much based on that lie.
