Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said the company developed games controlled by camera-based sensors but received better results using accelerometers eventually utilized in the Wii hardware.
Microsoft Corp.'s Project Natal for the Xbox 360 and Sony Corp.'s Playstation 3 both utilize camera technology to track gesture and movement-based controls in a three-dimensional space.
Natal can perform full three-dimensional motion tracking, facial recognition and voice recognition.
The Playstation Motion Controller is a wand-like apparatus that utilizes the current Playstation Eye USB camera.
Both technologies are expected to come to market in 2010.
Nintendo's Wii is the top-selling console, moving more than 50 million units globally.
Microsoft has sold more than 30 million Xbox 360 units, while Sony has moved about 23 million PS3 units worldwide.
Nintendo this month will release the Wii MotionPlus, a new add-on that will provide more accurate motion tracking to the Wii Remote.
Initial titles to utilize the device are Wii Sports Resort and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10.
