Post; Microshaft rips off the Wii


http://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/06/...ef=mpstoryview

That's just incredible. Microsoft has copied the living crap out of everyone.
They've copied everything invented on the Mac OS and now they're doing the Nintendo Wii. And they have the nerve to tell us not to pirate their crap.

Did you complain when JVC came out with the VHS tapes that were just like the Betamax?

They're creating a competing product. It's capitalism; it's all good.

I was too young then.
But man... seriously.
Competing product would be: PS 3 vs Wii. Two very different approaches to the video game console market competeing against each other.

Yes, and it was. They competed very well against each other and they both have advantages to them. Now microsoft is trying to narrow the advantages wii has on it.

example:
Person1:"I love xbox games and graphics but the wii is sooo cool"
2:"The xbox now has something similar to the wiimote"
1:"xbox it is"

Sony's cooking up something similar for the PS3. I don't really care either way, I played some Wii and was unimpressed. I prefer to keep my video games and physical activity separate.

Considering how fat kids are getting these days, the Wii like stuff is a good thing.

I agree. Why pretend to play tennis when you could actually just go play tennis?
