Miyamoto (Mario, Zelda, an entire generations childhood) gave Sony a nice subtle jab in a recent interview. When asked about the sudden announcement that the Sony controller would have motion sensors sorta like the Wii, Miyamoto said, "the fact that they looked at what we were doing and decided it was a good path is kind of flattering."

He went on to say, "What they’ve done is just take your standard controller and add in this motion-sensing device that’s 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 don’t think they’re anywhere close to that. [...] They’re talking about the next generation of the same old videogames - it’s the same old experiences with new graphics."

Good stuff. I'll be honest, I'm a fan of all 3 systems, but Sony is having a rough time lately. Of course telling people the PS3 isn't expensive enough probably isn't the best way to win hearts and minds.
