Given the success Nintendo has had with the revolutionary controller for the Wii, it was really only a matter of time before Microsoft and Sony followed the same path.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
i hate to say this but i hope sony and microsoft crush nintendo (i wont hold my breath)
nintendo have done absolutely nothing with all the money they made this gen
atleast sony and MS try there absolute best trying to beat out each other and giving us gamers cutting edge games every year
while nintendo just lay their fat heads on rehashed games and party games. i want to see new innovative IP from nintendo
oh and please give us a choice to use the classic controller for gamers that hate motion controlls like myself
The way M$ is exposing Kinect, I would say they have a very good chance of matching Wii numbers for the rest of this gen. The fitnect gaming alone will pull huge numbers. Then you have the kids factor, which is Nintendo's secret weapon against M$ and Sony. Kids are going to love Kinect. You can cry about it on N4G all you like. But Kids are a major consumer, especially around the Holidays.
a good shot... its a new refreshing way to play games...(no controller required) Move is too similar to a Wii remote just an upgrade. New consumers win not be able to differentiate the two. My money is on Kinect.. All the casuals that have a Wii will likely choose Kinect as it will offer a different type of gaming experience.
News Flash:
Microsoft is in a real sticky situation on exactly how much to charge for Kinect. Should the A. Be greedy and over price it as usual. or B. Charge very little and get kinect in as many homes now to set up the next gen install base.
I think it will be tough going for MS and Sony in the motion space.
What I don't like is that a lot of wii owners instantly think that the ps move is a copy of the wii-mote when they see it even though Sony has been working on motion controls for longer and the ps move is more accurate.
