Miyamoto says that Wii is ‘honored’ to be in such great company as Move and Natal

While Sony might be doing its best to heat things up with its Wii-baiting “realistic movements” ad campaign, Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto is taking the high road. Elaborating on recent comments that he made about the threat posed by rival motion controllers (or lack thereof), the elder statesman, whose career stretches back to the beginnings of the video game industry and includes everything from Donkey Kong to The Legend of Zelda and beyond (don’t forget Nintendogs), said that “[c]ompeting with other companies” in a specific product category was “never our top priority.” Rather, the company will continue to do what it does best: creating “unique and unprecedented entertainment.” So how does he feel about PS Move, then? “The user experience we have created is going to be intensified by the advent of new machines from other companies. It’s a new experience that we originated. So we really see it as a great honor.” Class act, that guy. We’ll see how he feels when we beat him to market with our Engadget Vitality Sensor.
