Nintendo copied controller from Microsoft and Sony.

Of course, everyone forgets the CD-i's remote controller.

The Power Glove was made by Mattel, not Nintendo. Nintendo isn't "stealing" the technology from themselves. Mattel designed it and released it.

I don't think Mattel designed it...I though some technology company desined something similar for NASA and Mattel licensed it for the Powerglove. I dunno...memory is very fuzzy on that.

I think the best example for me so far is the force feedback steering wheel. I had not even thought about it that way until this thread. I am sure Nintendo will find ways around it, but in the beginning I could see where it would be a problem. Then 2 years later when they find a way to give some kind of feedback people will say " How in the hell did we play games before?"

Actually, if I recall correctly, it was sort of the opposite. Mattel designed the Power Glove for the Nintendo, and NASA bought into the technology because they had been designing similar devices for controller shuttle systems that cost them millions to make. Again, if I recall correctly, NASA purchased a ton of the Power Glove right after it was released so they could use the parts in future NASA projects at a HUGE reduced cost.
