1080p after they said it was a gimmick and useless
hdmi after they said it wasnt needed
hd dvd drive
throw in a bigger hdd after they said 20gb was all that was needed
achievements are a copy of madden challenge
their OS basically a rip of everything apple did years before
dreamcast controller
hell they even made the elite black to try 1up ps3(even though thats not as big a deal, its just black but it was a jab at ps3)
now home? im not surprised, honeslty with what they have been doing in the OS business for years i expected it.
everyone copies, even sony and nintendo. but they also put out many original ideas.Mandingo101
I wasn't going to do this, but since you went there, allow me to show exactly why Sony supporters are in no position to claim that people are copying them...
Added analog sticks and rumble to the PS1 controller after Nintendo pioneered the use of the two with its N64 controller and rumble pak.
And I guess Sony copied MS by adding both an external hard drive and the Network adapter to the PS2 as well. Hell, if you get mad at MS for adding HDMI and 1080p, then you must be mad at Sony for doing this as well.
Nintendo reveals "revolutionary" motion-sensitive controller weeks prior to E3 2006 and sets the gaming world ablaze. During Sony's E3 press conference, they reveal the PS3's new SIXAXIS controller, with six way tilt sensitivity. odd...
Seems to also have analog triggers and a central "guide" button, like the Xbox 360's controller...hmm...
Microsoft unveils Xbox Live November 15, 2002, Sony attempts to put together a similar service for the PS2 but decides against it. Now, the PS3's online service, dubbed PS Nis revealed to have several functions of Xbox Live...hmm...
And the original Xbox was black as well. Did you ever stop to think that's where they got the idea to paint the Xbox 360 Elite black? I guess if Sony comes out with a white PS3 it'll be to 1up the 360 right? :roll:
I could go on and on, but I'll stop there. Fact is, if you're a Sony suporter, you're in no position to be angry when someone copies them after all the "borrowing" they've done in the past.
And in regards to MS not contributing any original ideas, Xbox Live was the first unified online service of its kind on consoles that Sony and Nintendo are still trying to copy. Not to mention that it's likely because of the original Xbox that PS3's ship with a hard drive installed. Why MS didn't follow their own lead with the 360, I'll never know, but he fact is, they brought the idea of a Hard drive in a console to the table. So yes, they have contributed plenty of original ideas.
