Again the Nintendo crowd is going to have a severe amount of butthurt trying to spin this all around. I don't think many Sony fans legitimately care about this garbage because that is the nature of the industry itself (Or any industry) but rubbing in the smug peoples face sure is funny to see.

You know the people who like to claim that Nintendo can do no wrong and is the holy trinity of innovation when much of their existence within the industry has been iterative like everyone else (with smatterings of good ideas interlaced).


Honestly, in a day and age where companies are patenting everything they can imagine because of how broken the patent system is, it is meaningless to claim that a patent shows that one company copied another ...

Until a company releases (or atleast announced) a product there is no reason to believe that they saw value in the technology.

I'd disagree.  It is all about risk and reward.  They patent it because they see it as viable down the road and a good idea that they could take advantage of eventually.  It is not meaningless in this specific argument because this specific argument is filled with so much BS and propaganda for each persons 'favorite' system, this actually provides some concrete material that at the very least both companies are thinking about things.

It depends on the company,  Sony comes out with plenty of new things to the market, it's a prioritization process for them though.  Just because Nintendo releases a product first doesn't mean Sony didn't intend to in the near future. 

I wouldn't crown Sony as innovators either with this post, I would just say it quiets down the Nintendo is king innovation crowd.
