I think if it's a trilogy, it's a triology, TRI, 3 GAMES, anything more than it and it's NOT a trilogy, IMO.

A ripoff is an inferior product. And Nintendo Wii? What's the similarity with it?

In the conference they say, 'this isnt the kind of game where you sit on the sofa using preset waggle commands' -dig at Nintedo wii, insinuating that they have taken that concept and expanded on it. Eye Toy requires no controller, has a camera, and you can do things on screen. Nintendo DS has voice recognition. The only thing that is different is 3D space and face recognition, and face recognition isn't new technology. If I remember correctly Eye Toy had an inferior version which recognised your face so you could put it on a character.
Just because it's not exactly the same doesn't mean it's not cashing in on Nintendo's idea of virtual reality and movement. If you look at the demo can't you see how strikingly similar it is to a Nintendo Wii advert? When the family are driving a car, it's the same as the Nintendo Wii advert without the Wii wheel.
That's not to say I'm not excited about it, it does look fantastic if it works, but my point is it's obviously not totally out-of-the-blue original.

If it can recognise my accent I'll give it some credit.
