In an interview with Canadian publication the Edmonton Sun, when asked if he thought Sony had copied Nintendo's idea for the Wii's remote controller, Miyamoto replied: "Its kind of what always seems to happen. But the fact that they looked at what we were doing and decided it was a good path is kind of flattering; it kind of reinforces in our minds that were doing the right thing."
"What theyve done is just take your standard controller and add in this motion-sensing device thats similar to what we did back on the Game Boy Color many years ago. Maybe if they were to completely copy and go with a remote and a nunchuk and two motion sensors, I might be a little more concerned. But I dont think theyre anywhere close to that."

What has Nintendo introduced to console gaming...
Using Scarts (NES)
Network/internet connectivity (NES - I think, but SNES definate)
Shoulder buttons (SNES)
3D FX(SNES)
Analouge Sticks (N64)
Rumble Pack (N64)
Full 3D Worlds (N64) - not psx by the way, The concept was stolen by Sony going solo. So Nintendo had to build a new console quick thus the N64. and not the Nintendo Playstation (Original name for the add-on for the snes)
Full Handheld connectivity (GBA, NGC)
Touch Screen (NDS)
Wii-mote (Wii)
What has Sony brought...
besides using the original Nintendo name as their brand ( thats just down right bad, If it was university work thats an instant fail)
The camera (PS2)
Dual Analouge???
ummm..... dunno if anyone else wants to add pls do so.
All the above that Nintendo has introduced sony has copied and used alot better, seen the weak spots and improved it slightly.

lol.......so nintendo started internet connectivity huh?....lol
ill pay a
two words for you, sega....channel......
Sony started the crappy analogue buttons (or pressure sensitive buttons) thing
oh wait, no sega started that with the l/r buttons on the saturn analogue controller.
sega started cd based gaming
sega started handheld connectivity with their VMU packs for the DC. Nintendo was just expanding on the idea.
saturn was the first multiprocessor console.
3d fx? seen that on the genesis before snes
full 3d worlds? neither sony nor nintendo came up with that idea!.....lol
the idea was in response to sega's virtua series (virtua racing comes to mind). In fact sega had a patent on full 3d worlds!!....lol
And another thing (this is probably the only time im gonna defend sony so enjoy it while it lasts), that sony/nintendo deal your talking about. Its really stupid for anyone to try and make sony the bad guy in that situation. SONY GOT RIPPED OFF BY NINTENDO! make no mistake about it. Sony came to nintendo with the playstation (yes they come up wit the name not nintendo) after seeing sega's plans for the sega cd. Nintendo was not enthused but saw some potential. So they courted sony until they can get what they want (the 3d technology) and ended the deal. Later on sony saw their technology appearing in the form of the "super fx" chip that was installed on cartridges. Sony was not happy but revenge is sweet. And the rest is history.

Also: If Sony had been developing it for over 2 years, how come the Boomerand didn't have tilt sensing, and how come the Boomerang only got a rework AFTER the public laughed it off the market and AFTER Nintendo introduced the Wii-mote? Suspect, to be ridiculously mild.
And also: "We got rid of Rumble because it was, like, sooo last gen." is apaprently a code word for losing a patent lawsuit to Immersion. So maybe "2 years ago" really means "barely in time for e3".

I'm sure if I dug hard enough, I could find that Atari made a modem for the 2600. Modems and consoles go waaaay back. As far as America is concerned, yes Sega probable introduced the first at-all known download service. But Nintendo (er, Famicom) had a modem in Japan. And a disk drive. And... (etc)
The nintendo modem thing came out a year or two after sega channel. It was called the Satellaview.
Satellaview was 1995 while Sega channel was 1992
Trust me, nintendo would be the last company I would classify as a pioneer in online gaming.....lol
