Next gen you'll see every console copying Nintendo by using motion sensors (Sony has already done this I believe), and Nintendo will be on to making new things for the others to copy.

The PS3 launched with the Sixaxis controller. Sony applied for the patents of said controller in 1999. It wasn't a ripoff of the Wii's controller.

This idea that Nintendo innovates and everyone else copies them is nonsense. Nintendo hasn't innovated since they lost their stranglehold on the US market through restrictive licensing practices and artificial cartridge shortages.
