Nintendo: We’d be “embarrassed” if we were Sony or Microsoft

Sony and Microsoft will both release motion-sensing controllers this year, for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 respectively. Let’s face it: by bringing motion-sensing games to their consoles, S & M are copying Nintendo’s Wii, or at least being heavily influenced by it, if you were feeling kind.

Thing is, they don’t seem too fazed about outright nabbing Nintendo’s idea. Actually, they’re pretty shameless, and now Nintendo bossman Reggie Fils-AIme has stepped in to say they should both be embarrassed:

“I think a hallmark of Nintendo is that we are constantly trying to innovate. I think we would have been embarrassed to do what our competitors are currently doing.”

Ouch. Take that.

Fils-Aime also went on to promise that the Wii’s successor will again prove innovative: “For us high definition by itself is not the next frontier,” he told Kotaku. “For us we need to provide a whole new compelling experience in our next generation.”
