I swear to god that people on the internet get dumber by the minute.

 

 

phinch1   “Sony was first to add the "Home" button on the controller”

I think Microsoft call it a Guide Button but nice try… swing and a miss.

What ever the name is, the basis of its function is still the same, pushing the button mid game will still bring up, the main menu, home, xmb , navigation, guide or whatever you fancy calling it, so I fail to see where that statement was dumb

Personally i think someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed ay grouchy? :)

 

Did the PS2 have it?  I am curious how the 360 copied something on the PS3 when it came out as it was before the PS3 was released.   I remember seeing the guide button day one for the 360.  Apparently Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo thought it appropriate to stick a menu button in the middle of it that would enable it to access the main game menu, power down, etc...  All of them have it, and all of them allow you to turn your system on or off with the middle button.


When in my statement did i mention the PS3? I said Sony because I was referring to the Psp which had the "Home" button before the 360 I believe and if you read my statement after its says summit like sorry i thought it was people copying Sony in general not just ps3.
So Microsoft did copy the "guide button" from Sony
