Current Top 6 Ripoffs
he Originator:
Nintendo, who brought personalization to a new level with Miis. The simple little characters are then playable in certain games, giving gamers even greater affinity with the cute mascots.
The Imitator:
If internet rumor is to be believed, Microsoft is considering the idea of introducing “Avatars” to the Xbox 360. These cute, customizable characters are also rumored to be incorporated into a multitude of games.
The Winner:
Miis. Nintendo has incorporated them so successfully into the Wii brand that there’s no way a newly introduced concept like Avatars can hope to compare.
Avatars has not been “officially” anounced by Microsoft yet, but when it does it will be a blatant copy of Nintendo’s Miis.
