If Nintendo feels threatened at all by new product rollouts at E3 from Microsoft and Sony, it's not planning on blinking in public. Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto told BBC News Friday that Nintendo is "not worried at all" about Microsoft and Sony, both of whose E3 showcases this week centered on motion detection technology designed to counter Nintendo's Wii products.

"The fact that both of those comapnies are looking at getting the gamer off the couch, taking advantage of motion control, and getting them to control the game by moving their body shows that they have looked at what we have done with Wii," Miyamoto said to BBC News. "And now they are moving in the same direction. To that end we are very flattered."

Both Sony and Microsoft's consoles, respectively the XBox 360 and PlayStation 3, will now move the gamer off the couch, following the Wii model of more interactive game playing. Microsoft unveiled the Natal Project motion sensing interface on Monday, and Sony followed suit on Wednesday, serving up its answer to the Wiimote, the PS3 Motion Controller.

Sony is also going after Nintendo's DS-driven dominance in handheld gaming devices, hoping its new PlayStation Portable Go (PSP Go) cuts into Nintendo's market share as a more impressive update to Sony's PSP-3000.

Nintendo's E3 announcements, at least on the new gaming technology front, weren't quite so splashy, and included a new controller for the Wii, Wii Motion Plus, that was first mentioned by Nintendo in 2008, and Wii Vitality Sensor, a pulse-measuring device that's in the early development phase. It had much better buzz at E3 over new games, which according to reports include a new, 3-D Mario Bros. title for Wii -- Super Mario Galaxy 2 -- and new games in its long-running Zelda and Metroid series.
