The process of creating something new is always a long way. There are very many different people and/or companies involved. Of course analogue control, rumble, motion-controls etc. were invented before Ninty used it for their current console. Nevertheless, it was Ninty that invented these features as console-specific features, so of course Ninty innovates.

Do you think optical media, built in rumble etc. was invented from the very beginning from Sony? min 3 of your 4 arguments are rediculous, imo. dual analogue after Ninty built N64 controler, built in rumble after Ninty introduced it and optical media, you know the Saturn right?

So every company adds something new in the end. And i agree with the conclusion that Ninty introduced many things on the console market and Sony makes them better . There's never given credit to the basic researchers, i doubt you know any of them.

Don't forget, without Ninty Sony most probably wouldn't be part of the gaming market at all.


Ok, so when Nintendo take it from the PC and arcade to apply it to N64, which is the first 3D centric home console, its great innnovation. But when Sony decide to implement a second analog to control camera its lame and unimaginative.

Not at all! It just proves that Sony truly wants to give the best hardware to its clients (except when the SixAxis didn't have rumble). Nintendo sometimes just gives people hardware that is very easy to improve, so that means that Nintendo sometimes fails to deliver the best features their controllers could

Your reply isnt related to what I was saying about the bolded part of his quote. Ill say something about it anyway. While I agree Sony want to give good hardware, the situation doesnt prove Sony didnt release those thing first for that reason. Nintendo could have as well release a 2 analog controller with N64. Just to reformulate, Sony released it later because they didnt thought about it first. But in my opinion, putting 1 analog on an home console controller or adding a second analog is as much innovation as the other, particularly considering N64 was the first 3D centric home console, the one that needed an analog the most when it came out.
