To correct you, only the PS3 has the tilt feature. The Wii on the other hand also has Aiming, and lots of its motion sensing. The WiiMote also has way less buttons than the PS3 Dualshock 3. The Dualshock 3 has about 17 buttons/functions (including L3 R3 and tilting.) The Wiimote is aimed for a wider audience. The PS3 is aiming for the power of their system, which Sony fans, rich people, etc. are most likely to buy.

Funny thing how people mocked the DS before it launch saying it had no chance with the PSP and Nintendo is doomed. DS launched and it kinda did mediocre in the first 3 months then after Mario Kart DS and the launch of its Wifi Service, the DS just started pwning everything in sight.

I remember when people were arguing over the N64 controller. Honestly, that could have been worked out better since only a few games had you play with the D-Pad and not the control stick. And the Playstation controller was just wild when you saw how many buttons it had. People were used to only see two main buttons, but this had four. Wow.

In my view, Nintendo has always been the game company to try and make new things, especially their controllers. I mean, they didn't even release what their controller for the 64 looked like a few months before launch. Though, I could care less how the Wiimote handles. I get used to any controller after I play a few minutes. It's a controller. Pick it up and play.

At least be thankful Sony changed from their horrible boomerang idea...that was bad.
