| RolStoppable said: Much of the conflict comes from people confusing the meanings of invention and innovation. You are no exception, FinalEvangelion. One of Nintendo's core principles over the years has been to put withered technology to new uses. That naturally isn't invention, but innovation. Video games consist of hardware and software and Nintendo's strength is to introduce new control methods by delivering games along with them that remove all doubts whether the new control method makes sense for video games. In the history of video games, Nintendo was able to pull this off more often than anybody else and many of their innovations are still present in the consoles of today, including the systems of their competitors. That's the reason why people give Nintendo so much credit. |
Yeah, if you really dig deep into it you will find that most "innovative breakthroughs" were invented many years before hand; and envisioned many years before that ...
