It's not that Nintendo invented motion-sensing. It is the fact that Sony clearly decided to implement it thanks to all the praise the free-hand controller has gotten lately.
On the other hand, don't forget that the true 3D space movement detection the Wii uses is a true first for the gaming industry. The PS3 and all those other prior products may be "motion-sensing", but are much more limited in their capabilities.
Exactly what is the main reason to buy a next-gen system, according to Sony (and MS): Hi-Def
NOW it turns out Hi-Def is not such a big deal? That not many people have HD televisions, so you can release a version of the console without HD output?
On St-Def, the X360 and PS3 look basically as good as the GCN and the Xbox. So... exactly why would I be playing $500 for a next-gen console to play the exact same games with basically the same graphics I can get for under $200?
And to think Nintendo was booed for not having HD output on their new *$200* console. It seems more and more that they're right about graphics.

Since the next PS obviously wants to be like it so much, I will hereby refer to it as the WeeStation from now on.
