Nintendo UK responds to PS3 controller

[clips]

^^^well what i was really tryin\' to show is why the ps3 is so expensive,...when i first seen that chart, it just showed what the 360 doesn\'t have,...i actually forgot how much the 360 costs.....

The PS3 tilt sensor is GameBoy Color technology, hardly expensive. The cost of the PS3 boils down to three things - harddrive, cell, blu ray. That jacks it up and even at $600, Sony sells at a loss.
 
This is without even taking into account millions for R&D, marketing, etc. (I think.)

tilt sensor technology didn\'t exist before gameboy color?

Look it up. You tell me.

Has anybody read the latest EGM?

Apparently Nintendo had the gyroscopic technology for a few years, and didn\'t think to use it until 2005 when somebody in their R&D suggested a one-handed controller. Then Miyamoto suggested an extension for the nunchaku and other add-ons. The rest is history.

I thought it was simmering a little longer than this.

Yeah they were fiddling with all kinds of controller concepts and I guess it just snowballed.
 
I wonder how Sony R&D goes? ;]

there\'s probably a sign on the wall

"if it isn\'t broken, don\'t fix it"

it\'s next to the one that says

"sales = king.  ©mm 1996"

How about a sign that says "Booooooring."
 
Aside from the rare title, that\'s my sentiments regarding Xbox, PS2, Xbox 360 and PS3. And Gamecube, now that I think about it.
 
DS & Wii for the win.

What he said. Seriously, I\'m loving my DS so much that I\'m trying to sell my PSP now.

How much?

I\'m with the two above me. I\'m enjoyin\' old school gameplay on my DS and look forward to old school meets new for the Wii.

I should of waited for the DS lite, but decided against it. Just went ahead and got myself a DS yesterday. I\'m enjoyin\' Super Mario Bros. and the fiance is playin\' Animal Crossing - Wild World.

LiC: PM me if you really want it. It\'ll be in a package, give or take $100 less than I paid for it.

If you don\'t really want it, go play your DS you fag!

I don\'t know what to say about people who buy every console on the market only to go complain about them on a message board.  

The DS  and Wii won\'t entertain you anymore than the PS3 and me.   It\'s called personal taste.  Don\'t try and take that away from me

Minus the fact no one "tried to take that away" from you. We\'re discussing something, how does that hurt you? It doesn\'t. Get over it.
