First of all, I'm a Sony fanboy.

Now, lets have a look at the things that Sony has copied from Nintendo and Microsucks, I mean Microshaft, I mean Microsoft.

1. Analog Sticks from N64

2. Vibration from N64

3. Motion Sensing from Wii

4. PS3-PSP connectivity from GBA-GCN Connectivity

5. PSN from Xbox LIVE

6. PSOne controller was more or less a carbon copy of the SNES controllers with triggers

By the way, this entire thing was a joke. :P

sega actually made the first analog stick for nights on genesis? they definitely did it first. online was on the snes in japan and they had downloadable maps for some of the games, so live copied that. sorry just thought i'd add some pointless facts to the thread.

Who cares who copied who... It's who makes the best that counts. Ferrari didn't invent cars, but they still make the best ones now.

Why would you make another thread for a thread that is all ready out about the same topic? Sounds to me that you're the copycat...

Except most of that is just wrong. You don't copy in this industry, you adapt.

I don't know what a 'babay' is. I'm sorry I didn't put a :P at the end of my post to signify I was being sarcastic.

First of all, who realy cares? All companies copy ideas from each other and other industries. YOu may as well argue that Nintendo and MS copied Sony by using DVDs for games. Or that MS copies Nintendo AND Sony because they have analog and rumble also. But I guess in your mind, something is only copying if Sony does it.

Second, SOny doesn't have motion sensing. They have tilt sensing which isn't even close to what Nintendo uses. And if you think tilt sensing is "copying" and worth insulting a company over then you may as well bash Nintendo too for ripping off an idea that pinball machines have used since the 60s.

PSN is also nothing like XBL despite people constantly trying to compare the two. And while they are starting to show more and more similarities as they go, MS is just as likely to "copy" ideas from both Sony and Nintendo for XBL updates as anyone else.

OH! But in reality you were just jocking...aka spamming or trolling. Way to waste everyones time with trolling and flame bait. That certainly excuses everything you said.

At least Sony came up with Home all by themsleves. Home is like clown shoes...supposed to be fun, but just ends up getting in the way and making you fall and hurt yourself.

Every game company copies but it seems like Sony gets the most attention everytime they do.

Recently they copied 1 vs 100, and it looks like they did it like overnight or something.

The lengths we go to.....Actually everyone copied the first primitive human who "sold" a flower or something pretty to another so the second could give it to the female of his choice. Hence business was created.....wait, I'm looking for the link....
