Post E3 interview with Iwata
During a brief Q & A with the Seattle Times during E3, Nintendo's president Satoru Iwata commented all things Nintendo from the Wii's challenges ahead to Sony's innovative motion-sensing controller.
Q: Do you think Sony copied Nintendo with its new controller?
A: (Laughs.) Actually before they made the announcement we already anticipated that they might do that, so I had to laugh. Even though I was laughing, it was with a grim face, I should add. (Laughs.)
Having said that, please know that putting the motion-sensor technology into the classic-style controller is one thing. Putting the motion-sensor technology into the Wii remote as well as the "nunchuck" controller, where you can use both hands freely and independently, this is quite another thing.
