That was filed for Patency in 2004! Plus i think you're going a bit mad over what we probabily know as the Sony Eye-Toy

I apologise
you are most probably right Lee-yoshi but all i can say is companies have had a big habit in copying Nintendo design and concepts then doing just enough to make them different as not to get sued. Off toic sry: I did enjoy the Nintendo playstation fuss tho

Hehe, of course Sony will copy it eventually, as Ninty have said, everything else of theres has now become standard in the industry, so it's only a matter of time, so keep watching those US Patents

Don't be so harsh Pink. You haven't actually used the Revolution yet, so you can't really mark the Revolution or it's controller, for that matter, as a disgrace as of yet. I'm as skepitical of it all as you are, but I won't mark it as "phail" until I actually try it out for myself. :beard:
