"Sony finally
showed off their PlayStation 3 motion controller (dubbed "Move") and sub-controller at GDC this week, and let's be charitable by saying it looks in a lot of ways pretty similar in concept to Nintendo's Wii remote and nunchuck. Nintendo, predictably, is being less charitable with their words, as Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime had a stern assessment of their competition's (including Microsoft's) rush to motion controls. "I think we would have been embarrassed to do what our competitors are currently doing," Fils-Aime
said to Kotaku, stressing that for Nintendo, it's of vital importance to innovate rather than follow. "So, all I can tell you is that we will innovate. We will provide something new. Something that the consumer and the industry will look at and say, 'Wow, I didn't see that coming.'"
Fils-Aime also gave a few more juicy tidbits about what Nintendo has planned for the successor to the Wii, stressing that it won't simply be a Wii with HD graphics. "For us high definition by itself is not the next frontier. For us we need to provide a whole new compelling experience in our next generation," he said. Fils-Aime also made clear a new console won't be made until Nintendo feels it needs to be.
"When Mr. Miyamoto goes to Mr. Iwata and says, 'I have this great idea and I can't do it on the Wii,' that's when there will be a next generation console," he said. "What that includes we'll see. I think Mr. Miyamoto himself has said that he is very interested in a high-definition experience, but to be 120 percent crystal clear, HD by itself in our view is not enough to go for a new console past the Wii."
