Nintendo of America boss, Reggie Fils-Aime has said that he is "flattered" by Sony's PlayStation Move controller.
The similarities between the two devices has opened up accusations of Move being a complete copycat of the Wii remote. Sony even have their own Nunchuck-type attachment for Move.

But despite Sony jumping on the ‘motion control wagon’, Fils-Aime talked about Nintendo’s future of continuing to bring out innovated products. He said:
"So, if imitation is the most sincere form of flattery then I am blushing I'm so flattered.
"You know, I didn't see the [PS3 Move] announcement. I did spend some time at the booth and saw some of what they were demonstrating and I think the question isn't how will we react - I think the question is, so what is it that's going to be compelling to the consumer in what they're doing?
"From our standpoint, motion control is core to what we do. We believe that we've brought a range of different experiences that utilize the motion controller and we pride ourselves on being innovators in the space and we're going to continue to innovate. I think the key question is, how will they respond when we continue to innovate if this is their best effort?"
