Nintendo says Sony and Microsoft have jumped on the motion control bandwagon.
Nintendo has vowed that it must continue to offer Wii gamers a more immersive experience or risk being left behind by Xbox 360's Project Natal controller-free technology.
President of Nintendo America, Reggie Fils-Amie says that the company will "have to move on" to the next level if it is to continue to compete at the highest level with Microsoft and Sony.
He says: I'm not sure when their products will come to the market, but I can tell you by the time that happens, we will have to continue to move on."
Mr Fils-Amie also claimed that Sony and Microsoft are essentially jumping on the bandwagon by capitalising on Nintendo's vision for motion sensing control.
"My take on it is that they are now seeing the opportunity that we saw. What they have shown and discussed inherently is not new news to us. So for us what we see is two competitors who are looking over their shoulder at what we've been able to do, and are trying to participate."
Nintendo already has the rather strange, pulse-reading Vitality Sensor on the way, which may key into Wii Fit and other health and fitness games. The Wii Motion Plus controller, which tracks movements with greater accuracy, is on sale from Monday.
