People that have been around videogames for a while know that innovation doesn't come form the same company.

First ninteno innovated, then Sega took the torch, then sony did it...

I wouldn't look for the "next big thing" from nintendo again.

When has sony come out with ANYTHING innovative? Putting games on a disc (like sega)? Last Time I checked they copied... A LOT...

You may have a point...but its hard to deny sony's leadership position prior to the PS3. They basically took ideas form other companies which failed and made them successful. I mean, Phillips CDi is still calling and wants its multimedia console idea back :)

Of course it's easy to take what is moderately successful (Analog Stick, Rumble, CD's, SNES-Style layout) and make it extremely successful...

Ya know what's funny about that? Some guy tried to tell me that apple and the iPhone were great for consumers and really wonderful because they took other people's ideas and just put them together again, for more money and hyped the shit out of it after continuously doing the same thing for every ipod/iphone for every 6 months with slight incremental improvements... I told him he was an idiot, and that innovation is key to keeping a market thriving... but no-one really thought I was right (ifans)...

 

Then the next day, the same guy talks about how he wishes apple would buy Nintendo and how great it would be for Nintendo and Apple, and my point was proven.
