Sony trying to get to the top off the back of other peoples success? i would never have guessed I mean afterall, there was an article recently saying sony was one of the most innovitive companys of all time and were the creators of the CD. History lesson people, Phillips created the CD in 1978, 3 years before sony claimed they did in 1981 Nokia were dominating the mobile/cell phone market, so what do sony do? they team up with eriksson and make their own phone. Sony have always been the same, they wait until somthing is successful and then come along to grab a slice of the pie and take all the applause, SONY MAKE ME SICK |
Gee, that sounds like Microsoft. So, do you have an axe of hatred towards Microsoft also? If not, why not? Microsoft does similar things. Even Nintendo did some bully stuff in the past, and anti-competitive practices. The practices they introduced to the videogame business, which did help pull the videogame business out of the Crash, can be considered potentially questionably legal also. Like, the whole licensing fees. Game makers pay kickbacks to the makers of consoles, if they want to sell. This was unheard of until Nintendo did it. Same with their restricting number of third party titles on their console. They also wanted to approve everything on their console released. All this did save the industry, and countered the wild pre-Crash days. BUT, they are questionably legal.
And one can get into what Microsoft has done. MS-DOS was grab a slice of pie, sell it to IBM, and take all the applause. This is business. Sony had Nintendo get its comeuppance, as it appears Microsoft and Sony had done to Nintendo.
