Nintendo's president of America, Reggie Fils-Aime, has spoken about Playstation's Move for the first time explaining that he is 'flattered' that Sony's motion controller resembles the Wiimote so precisely.
In a candid interview with IGN, he evaluated both Natal and Move chances in the market explaining that each product's success will depend not on the hardware, but on the games:
"It's all going to come down to the software and how great the experience is, which translates to how good the value is. Value meaning what you get for what you pay. "

Reggie also took the opportunity to reiterate Nintendo's stance regarding creativity and innovation:
"The interesting element is that we don't worry about our competitors. Our focus is making sure we execute our game plan the best way we can. That means great products. Licensee support. Continuing to innovate. It's all on us. So there is nothing that they are doing or will do that's going to get us to change our game plan."
Needless to say the competition between Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo for your gaming capital is beginning to heat up, 2010 is sure to be a very interesting year.
