Microsoft still pretends that they didn't rip-off Miis

“It’d be remiss to say that we don’t enjoy playing on the other systems and we have a lot of respect for the work that Miyamoto-san and Nintendo do, but I think it’s a logical extension of our Gamercard, Gamertag and Achievements. People want to personlise their Gamertag and so when we look to the future and think about building a brand new Xbox experience, Avatars is a logical extension of that innovation. I think it’s another avenue of self-expression and there are a lot of opportunities here for consumers.” - John Schappert, Microsoft

I just wish Microsoft would admit that they would have never made a move like this if Nintendo didn’t include Miis on the Wii.
