ohh look [http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=140270](http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=140270) Nintendo UK boss David Yarnton has lashed out at Sony’s new motion sensing controller, suggesting that the PlayStation creator has copied Nintendo’s ideas - past and present. Speaking to MCV in the wake of Sony’s E3 press conference last week, Yarnton was quick to point out Sony’s change of attitude since Nintendo unveiled their motion sensing Wii Controller late last year. “I’d love to dig up some old Phil Harrison comments and say ‘hang on a second - six months ago when we launched our controller you said one thing, and now why are you doing this?’” Yarnton thundered. Yarnton also slammed the lack of force feedback in Sony’s redesigned PS3 controller, blaming patent issues for the omission: “Historically we’re always developing new things. We know Sony have had a lot of issues with their rumble feature and they’ve had to withdraw it - because they didn’t innovate, they copied.” Yarnton went on to suggest that Sony has not only followed Nintendo’s lead, but copied their ideas in the past: “I don’t know what [Sony’s] decision making process is but I think if you look back, any innovation that has come in gameplay has come from us,” he said. “With Nintendo, I’m trying to think of anything we’ve copied… but I can’t,” concluded Yarnton. We’re sure you’ll let him know if they have and what you think of his assertions in the comment section below. Yet another, i cant understand why ppl love sony so much, its not like they even have good shit. ---

It’s the elitest attitude. People buy it for that, because it makes them feel fancy. 🙂 [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/sonys-continuing-downward-spiral/12146.md?page=1)
