Where did the Playstation come from? Technology left over from a failed deal between Nintendo and Sony to create a CD add-on to the Super Nintendo.
Where did the move come from? overlooking older tech from old consoles, the move was first conceived in 2001 after the eyetoy. The shape? copied from Nintendo Wiimote in 2009 to overcome intial challenges brought on from earlier designs, which included a glove.
The Dpad? The modern design was created by Gunpei Yokoi for the Game & Watch. The Intellivision controller consisted of a number pad and a disk.
The Analogue Stick? Everyone knows the Vectrex had the first modern analogue stick, not a joystick like the Atari. Nintendo had nothing to do with this one.
You know what, who gives a flying ****. I'm a huge Nintendo fan, and will defend them to the ends of the Earth, but why does it matter who did what first? In todays gaming, there is no such thing as originality. It just happens that Atari and Nintendo did everything first because they have been around the longest. You know what really annoys me about this thread. It serves no purpose other than for you to try to stir trouble because you are just proving the old Sony fanboy stereotype that Sony is God and they have never done anything wrong. Their console was born in an act of revenge towards Nintendo because Nintendo was too dumb to try to renegotiate a contract instead of just cancelling it forthright. You have no room to talk because the only thing Sony truly did that was revolutionary was the dual analogue stick. Even your argument is just showing how everything you Sony gamers hold dear is just copied from ancient consoles from before either of us were born. Even the disk-based games were beaten out by the CDi and the Saturn. You people have nothing to stand for because your arguments are always based towards pride and not fact. I have NO PROBLEM with Sony. Love their consoles, and their games. I think their amazing and they really got stiffed a little on the Nintendo contract. My problem is with YOU. Not you specifically, but the endless hordes of bigoted Sony gamers who can never seem to take a hint that all companies screw up and are not perfect. Nintendo has the Powerglove, The Virtual Boy, the N64DD, the fact that they can never hold on to decent 3rd party support, and their stance on content in games. Sony has the problem that they are in it for the profit and they rely on the fact that you guys are dumb enough to buy their products simply to support Sony, not because it is a quality system. At least 360 gamers buy the 360 because the games are fun, even if they are elitist too.
Just stop trying to start trouble because their is NOTHING you can say to redeem Sony gamers.
