Wow, just wow; you're beyond all logic at this point. Honestly, thinking that support for the wii is just a bias from wherever I get it? It's pretty hard to shrug off interviews with the president of the companies as just a bias, but somehow that's exactly what you're doing.
Hole shit, I believe the press can be biased!!!! I'm a raving lunatic!!!
As for the Spore developer, that was more because his company and the parent company(EA) both support the Wii and didn't want to have problems with having people who hate the console working on a project for it. Hell, Will Wright himself said he thought the Wii was the perfect console for spore. Even then, the number of interviews that I can remember actually denouncing the Wii is the spore developer and some Sony execs.
Spore is one of those programs that show where the Wii is lacking in ways that Nintendo fans would never admit. There's more than a system than its graphical capacity, but its ram and processing power to determine how complicate of a program can be ran on it. Spore's one of those things that wouldn't run on the Wii and has nothing to do with graphics.
The technology is new, Xavix used crappy IR break detection to simulate motion sensing; the technology in the wiimote was developed by Nintendo and other companies. The only place there's a double standard in terms of adding the new technology is from you; you think Sony is innovative for helping to pay for a new technology, but Nintendo isn't innovative for at least doing the exact same thing.
This is the technology in a Nintendo Wii.

Infrared(nothing new), and accelerometers, been around since this thing.

A 2001 and one item.
They weren't in there inventing the damn technology, they were just making it cheaper for mass production. This is why I said you don't pay 250 for innovation, specially if they're only paying... what, 180 on production?
The Mii's are innovative in that you can use them in your games and they can be used in other people's networks. It's not very innovative, but hey, it's something new. Then again, you didn't have to pay out the ass for it, so you wouldn't call that innovation.
That's nothing new at all. I've already exposed that the wiimote isn't new... avatars moving across the internet... do I need to shatter your tiny world view that this is new too?
I wasn't the first one to say Home was ripping off Mii's, that was just in response to you keep denying that sony just ripping off other ideas as a non-issue. I don't buy that Sony has been working on Home for years, because the PS Network hasn't been around for years. I even said that Home was ripping Second life off more, I don't really see ripping the Mii's off but it was already in the discussion; figures you'd go for an insignificant blip and act like that was the whole basis behind what I said.
You believe Nintendo has been working on the Wiimote...the technology they "invented"(lol, nintendo fans) for 4 years, but you think Sony constructed an online world in 4 months in response to... what? If they were ripping off second life, they could have stolen the idea years ago and been working on it and still been unoriginal.
But the fact is... if you're having a 3d online PS3 world, I can't really see anything other than their current design being what they'd use. Considering... it has to be an online world but it can't be a game, it's almost impossible to make anything that's a 3d online world not a game and won't be called a second life ripoff.
Try and come up with something that doesn't seem shitty, I dare you. Come up with an idea for a 3d online world that's not a game, isn't ridiculous(like some abstract thing you come up with no one would use to not be like 2nd life), and is still cool but not "ripping off" something that's been done already.
Ok, so it has to be above a certain price to be innovative, more idiocy, but whatever.
New technologies are expensive. Things get mass produced years after they're spit around the high end market.
More assumptions pulled out of your ass. Once again, the Xavix system is nothing like the wiimote's motion technology. I know it's hard for you to understand the differences in motion sensing technology, but get over it already.
Yeah, the Xavix and Wii are nothing alike...

Somehow, however, the Xavix manages to do everything the Wii can do with more accuracy. You'll have to explain to me how the ability to play baseball, golf, bowling, boxing and tennis shows inferior technology to the wii and can be all done from infrared while the wii needs to use accelerameters. You can explain to me where you read the nintendo invented the technology not just built the remote with what they liked in it.
They don't say they have the biggest market share, because that would be blatantly false. That's also not what I said(there you go missing the point again); I said that they have finally realized that they are not doing anywhere near as well as they had projected, rather than acting like they are the only console worth buying.
Harrison never said the PS3 is doing badly, he said it didn't have market share to support on his own the expenses of a GTA4. Huge production value titles rarely come out at the infancy of a system and Xbox360 has been out a year. You also have Microsoft in the business and they don't mind bleeding money over to studios, for all we know they paid Rockstar games a chunk of cash. Microsoft is so damn rich they don't care. Xbox 1 lost 4 billion dollars for them and they just pump more into xbox 360.The only way to defeat xbox is to bankrupt microsoft and that isn't happening while they own 94% of the PC market share. Still more established franchises I want on playstation and it's still a better constructed console and even at 200 more for the physical hardware I'm getting it's a better deal.
It's a response to you saying that I don't know what the industry is thinking or where it's heading. It's showing how wrong you are, that your opinion is in the vast minority, so stop acting like you're the only one with any idea of what's going on, especially when your view is lacking support.
Popular opinion? First off, I disagree with the gaming industry on a shitload of things. The gaming industry calls Home innovation. They call Xbox live innovation. They call the wiimote innovation. They call the blu-ray innovation.
None of this shit is innovation. The gaming industry places too much self importance on... dun dun dun, the gaming industry? It's innovation to them even if it's been somewhere else. To me innovation is something new... like... I don't know, multi-core cell processors? Maybe the first online world? How about the atari, that was innovation. Wolfenstein 3-D was innovative. Was dreamcast using CDs innovation??? No. It was just a smart business decision. They didn't invent CDs or using them or even using them for games, just consoles.
