Surprised that Sony and MS still don't use tech that Nintendo used nearly 20 years ago.

Not saying Nintendo is any better than any other shitty game corporation. Just wonder how much stuff companies call cutting edge is actually old tech.

I mean the PlayStation 3 controllers had "Sixaxis", but none of the games actually used the gyros at all, except some gimmicky interactions in first party games, like shaking the controller to get your flashlight batteries working again. I think the LittleBigPlanet series were the only games on the PS3 to even use the gyros properly.
