I miss-read your statement as Sony releasing controller with a screen that was standard, rather than Sony releasing a System with a standard controler that has a screen. That is a different beast altogether. Part of the reason we had multiple viable systems in the current generation unlike previous generations is because the market became asymetric, which resulted in more customers and more multi-system owners. If the market becomes more symetric as Sony "copies" Nintendo it is likely going to result in lower overall system sales, and this could disproportionately impact one manufacturer. Given that there was a significant advantage to a market leader when they launched before their competition regardless of whether their competition had more processing power, features or launched at a lower price I would think that Sony would be the net-loser if they decided to "copy" Nintendo. |
Support of portables as additional controllers with screen should be the added bonus, let's be naughty towards Sony as it would be towards Nintendo and let's call it "the improvement of the stolen idea"! I think too different systems would be better, but I suspect that should 3rd parties like Wii U's controller, they could insist that MS and Sony copy it.
