Sony- Everything, but mostly their blatant copying of everything Nintendo does.

Okay besides motion controls, which we all know Sony copied, how else has Sony copied Nintendo? I'm actually asking you to name a couple things.

Because from what I've seen Sony does a great job of trying new things. They went with CD's on the PS1 when Nintendo was still on cartridges, they made the PS2 use DVD's, and with the PS3 they are the first/only company to use Blu-ray, Bluetooth and built in wifi; and they also ramped the graphics up to a whole new level.

From what I've seen Sony is as much an innovator as Nintendo is. Oh and Sony also does TV's, Cameras, and about a million other random electronics so they're more then just a video game company. 

 

Analogue stick, rumble, their controller is a copy of a SNES pad, motion...........

1. The N64 controller had 1 anologue stick placed in the middle of the controller. The Dualshock used 2 anologue sticks, and they were placed on the left and the right side. Oh and Nintendo isn't the first to use an analog stick by the way, I'm pretty sure it was the Atari 5200 but I stand corrected.

2. Okay I'll give you rumble. Nintendo was the first I think. Everyone has copied that since then, not just Sony.

3. Big difference between the dualshock controller and the SNES controller. The only resemblance I see is the D-Pad, Start/Select buttons, and the use of shoulder buttons. Other than that the shape is completely different, the X/Square/Triangle/O buttons are positioned differently, and the PS1 controller had 2 shoulder buttons on each side.

We already mentioned motion control
