Taking an existing idea and expanding on it is a wonderful idea. It's the only way the video game market can improve. The reason Sony deserves to be bashed for copying Nintendo all of these years, is because Nintendo is the only one out there trying to innovate. Nintendo would probably take ideas from Sony IF SONY HAD THE GUTS TO TRY NEW THINGS!

Analog joysticks are most def. not the same thing as the digital joysticks that Atari introduced.

I guess PS2 introduced pressure sensitive buttons... thanks guys.

The NGC controller does look an awful lot like the DualShock, but the DualShock looks alot like the SNES pad.

Sony isn't ripping Wii off with it's tilt controller (although it was announced the nunchaku would have 8-way tilt before Sony said the DualShock would incorporate it).The whole tilting control idea actually came from Kirby Tilt 'N Tumble some years ago. If they are trying to save themselves from the Wii like this, they are doing a poor job at it.

If better graphics is "the main thing the PS3 has going for it", then I think Sony is probably in trouble.

I suppose I stole that last comment...

Please don't try to take the idea for rumble from Nintendo.

Please don't try to take the idea for Internet play capabilities form PC (Famcom if you are talking consoles).

The idea for wifi on a handheld (and console) first came from Nintendo. The PSP going wifi was announced (and probably added) later.

Yes Microsoft is guilty of ripping Nintendo off like Sony. Do keep in mind that Sony is basing their online structure on Live would you?

"come on.. it's a little difficult to act this way towards something you've never so much as layed your fingers on, isn't it? (sic)"

I totally agree. I have been hearing how much of a "crap" idea the Revolutions controller is for more than a year now, despite the fact that nobody had used it. Hurt's don't it.

BTW, I have been hearing copious amounts of Nintendo bashing since Square left to do Playstation games. That would be all of ten years thank you. Don't whine, I know it sucks to see your favorite company in a bad light, but you need to get over it. I have.

Nintendo resurrected this industry, don't forget it.

While I am at it, if Nintendo hadn't rejected Sony's idea for a disk based system, the PlayStation Experimental would have never been born (a little history for the kiddies).

Oh yeah, "Fanatec's German-made PS2 Speedster" looks like crap.
