Actually Nintendo did come up with the Eyetoy idea first. Several years ago Nintendo unveiled a motion-capture camera device in Famitsu, long before the Eyetoy was even a twinkle in Sony's eyes. It was Nintendo's idea, but they foolishly did nothing with it and Sony made a huge success out of it, so I imagine they must have been kicking themselves when the Eyetoy was released.
