When Microsoft introduced the NEW XBOX EXPERIENCE, all over the internet people SCREAMED COPY CAT, people accused Microsoft of  copying Nintendos' Avatar system, Sonys' XMB interface, and even Apples' Cover Flow Interface, feel free to reply on who else people accused Microsoft of copying with the NEW XBOX EXPERIENCE.

Now I am not here to argue wether Microsoft copied or not, but just to say this, When Sony first anounced that PS3 was getting an achievement system I didn't take much notice to it because It wasn't anything the Xbox 360 didn't already offer, but lately I have noticed that the tropy system on the PS3 is getting more and more popular, people talking about how much trophies they are getting, having their trophies in their sigs and so on, now I am not getting upset because of all this, my thing is where is the backlash that, Sony COPIED Microsoft? I have my own thoughts on why? but I just want to see what you guys have to say.

All I have to say to all you Playstation Fans is this, whenever you get the satisfaction of a trophy just remember who came up with the idea first.

Microsoft is innovativing in the videogame industry and not enough people is giving Microsoft credit with their mouth, just with their Wallets, Why is that?

Please leave your comments.

Thank You.

It's a two way road. There is resistance from 360 fans also about the things Microsoft has copied. I'm sure I could pull up examples of people bashing the PS3's XMB in favor of the Blades and then turning around and praising the NXE. It would be hard to find somebody on this site that hasn't been hypocritical at one point or another. I'm sure I'm guilty of hypocritical myself if I search my posts enough.

 

NXE is, in many ways, the Vista MCE UI designs moved to a console.  It doesn't resemble XMB nearly as much as it resembles the Vista MCE product that MS shipped before the PS3 shipped.
