Miyamoto Comments on PS3 & Xbox Motion Control Projects

The BBC had a chance at E3 to ask Shigeru Miyamoto what he thought of the competition now Sony and Microsoft have both announced motion controls for their respective consoles.

More precisely Miyamoto was asked if Nintendo were “in danger of getting left behind by the competition” to which he laughed. Have a look around 3 mins  50 secs or read the transcript after the jump.

“Not worried at all. The fact that both of those companies are looking at finding ways to get the gamer off the couch, taking advantage of MC, and really getting the gamer to control the game by moving their body, shows that No. 1 they’ve looked at what we’ve done with Wii, and seen the value in that. And now they’re moving in the same direction that we have already established. … We’ve been experimenting with motion control for over five years now. Based on the announcements we’ve seen here at E3, it seems these other two companies have really only been experimenting with this only very recently. … It looks like they’re still in their initial stages and are trying to create experiences that at this point don’t have the type of depth that we’re able to provide with Wii Motion Plus.”
