Yeah and the PSP was doing remote play with PS3 before 2008, so yoor point is?

I bet you since PSP already did remote play and Vita was in development with the same feature sets in place one can easily assume Nintendo took a page out of the Sony handbook. Sony just took the concept they originally had (Before Wii U development) and added to it a 5-inch touchscreen and 2 analog sticks instead of 1.

If anyone could make an argument for who got ideas from who I bet it is much easier to argue in Sonys favor, but of course you didn't think of these things I assume?

You know what your argument sounds like? It sounds like back when Sony fans would argue that Sony didn't copy the Wiimote because they had the Move patented since like 2002 or something and even had videos to show the prototypes and Nintendo fans rebutted that with "Well, Nintendo brought it to the masses first."

Sony is bringing Vita to the masses first with remote play, so I guess by Nintendo fan definition it in fact means Nintendo copied.

Oh yeah, you also forgot that tablets and phones have been able to do this for a long time too.

No, Nintendo invented the analog stick too.

Or maybe Reggie is just an undercover spy for Sony and he gives Sony all the information that Nintendo is keeping under wraps.

that would be one expeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeensive controller but a real nice one lol.

AT this point in the thread, I can't tell sarcastic comments from real ones.

As for the topic at hand, it seems like copying but its not like Nintendo invented tablets/remote play. Hell, i don't know who did but I assume it has been done before. I say let sony "copy" all other consoles, that way I only need to buy a playstation. It only does everything, you know?

No, Nintendo just reduced the size of the analog stick, Nintendo not invented it...

I know they did not invent it. What they did was they took an existing idea and modified it to function on a controller with the use of only your thumb.I always remember it being claimed that Nintendo invented it though, just like rumble, even though SEGA used it in video games first.

Same goes for Sony, they enhanced the analog stick based controller by adding a second one, although Sony did also release a dual analog flight stick no more than a week after the N64 released. Sony is still considered to be copiers of Nintendo though.

What you don't see is the TC making a thread about how Nintendo went and put an analog nub on the 3DS and then after the unveiling of the Vita went and worked to make an add-on for 3DS that adds a second analog to the handheld.

This whole "Sony copys and Nintendo innovates" argument is so bogus because arguments Sony fans use that get rubutted by Nintendo fans seem to later on find their way as Nintendo fan arguments. I don't know, I just guess I figured the "Enlightened Ones" would know better.

great post but i'm obligated to post one and only one things in this thread....

without nintendo sony has no playstation. what do you think the psone is really? the rejected snes cd rom system that nintendo rejected because of load times. sony just took the snes hardware added more power and kept the cd rom part of it and bingo there is the ps one.

oh wait i cant say that cause of the sony bias on this site cause we all know sony doesnt copy and nintendo is always DOOMED

Playstation Network --> Nintendo Network

Analog stick on PSP --> Analog stick on 3DS

2 analog sticks on Vita --> 3DS add-on with 2nd analog created for 3DS

Sony making their console a multimedia center from the get go --> Microsoft makes 360 into more of a media center and now nintendo following suit

Sony puts 2 analog sticks on controller --> Nintendo's next console (GC) gets 2nd analog stick, although cleverly disguised

Sony created analog based controls before N64 even released and released dual analog based controls a mere week after N64 launch

Sony touts PSVita ability to stream PS3 games to Vita and displays it for all to see --> Nintendo unveils the Wii U

PSP was able to wirelessly stream Lair on PS3 since 2007. Haven't tried many other titles though, but that was 5 years ago.

Sony Smash Bros. isn't even confirmed. 

Let us hope 3DS doesn't now get a back touchpad add-on.

Oh yeah, the classic controller pro also looks so much like something I have seen before, just can't remember what it was...
