My point is that it's really childish to do the "who copied who" game. Every company uses ideas from others, including Nintendo. Just as someone was saying about optical discs. Nintendo was pretty staunch about cartridges being the way during the N64 era, but switched in the GC era after seeing the success of optical media. I'm not saying that Sony was the first to use optical media either. Sega did it with the Sega CD.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
