Sony has to copy others, MS takes a different approach.....

Xna isn't a different approach.ninjiijitsu

the gesture thing is completely weird. sony might have copied wii mote in some areas but they didnt copy the exact same thing. they copied the the hdd idea but all game systems need that these days makes the system a lot better. arent the best points thats all i give about this subjectdcm06

Yeah MS didn't copy the online service or the dual analogs or the shoulder buttons.... MS is too perfect for thatTimesplitter14

If you think that improving on the features of your competitors and providing them to your own userbase is a bad thing then you are an idiot. /threadBen3128947

Show me one area where Sony ACTUALLY improved the concept they took from another company?Nedemis

A little harsh, but the point is good. Everybody copies everyone else to an extent. It would be hard for the industry to improve if people said "I don't wanna do it if (Insert company here) already did it." imagine if only one console had online service, and another was the only one with analog. That would suck. I wouldn't know what one to get.

I could say PSN was just a copy of the unified online serivce that Xbox live provided, or that The PS controllers triangle, X, square, O button scheme was copied from Nintnedo's X,Y,A,B scheme on the SNES,(sorry if it seem like I'm picking on Sony, but those were the first two examples to come to mimd.) but it's not. it's just taking a good idea and appling it to your own ideas.

I don't see how sony copied the "HDD idea". it was an option on the PS2. the Xbox it came standard a year later aka improved on sony's idea. this time the PS3 has it standard the the 360 it is an option. isn't it safe to say that Sony copied MS making it standard and MS copied Sony making it not? now i ask you, which is moving forwards and which is moving backwards?
