It was a joke based off of real events. Sony took the idea of the CD based console from Nintendo. Nintendo approached Sony with a partnership to develop something I believed was called the SNES-CD. However, a disagreement between then caused Sony to develop the ideo on their own. Sony's PS1 controller was remarkable similar to the SNES controller. When Nintendo revolutionized controllers for 3d games using a joystick, Sony added that too. Nintendo pioneered the 3D game front, where PS1 followed soon afterwards. You could say that all of Sony's games are developed off of concepts and developments made during the success of the SNES. If the SNES was not as successful (assuming Sega didn't manage to fill the void), the PS1/N64 generation would not have been as good as it was. Really, it would have been difficult for Sony to do anything Nintendo hadn't done at the time, since they came afterwards. They did kinda drop the ball with the joystick though. |
Well as for the CD, nintendo may have approached Sony but they bailed on them in a very unprofessional way if im not mistaken, i wouldnt call that Sony copying since Nintendo opted for cartridge instead insisting it was better than discs.
I honestly dont think Sony could have made the playstation and then all of a sudden revamped a joystick onto the controller and tacked it on, this was most assurely not copied.
As for the bolded, thats the most grossly overstated comment ive ever read on this website.
