| glimmer_of_hope said: So I posted a thread the other day and was attacked non stop for it, I also had that thread locked on me for some reason. I was trying to explain how Sony is copying Nintendo's Wii U controller. But like death and taxes the other quarantee in life is if you say something negative (direct or indirect) about Sony, you will be met head on by fanboys. I find it extremly sad that a person cannot come on here and post his valid thoughts, whitout being torn to pieces. Especially when the topic being posted not only relates to gaming, but also the future of gaming. So heres the PROOF that Sony not only copied Wii U's controller, but could possibly be a part of PS4.

In the future please have some respect for what others write. I may not be a professional writer, but this is what I was alluding to. I cannot be on this site all day defending myself or to write a perfect article.....I have a job and a life. People really need to stop being so offended to the point of attack because someone decided to write somthing about their beloved console maker. |
So... because Nintendo filed their patent a whopping 5 months before Sony, they "copied" Nintendo's Wii U controller?
That is either some damn fine industrial espionage (unlikely conspiracy theory), or they simply weren't aware of what Nintendo was developing internally (mostly likely reality).
Besides, Sony had been working on PSP/PS3 connectivity since before the PS3 was even released. Integration with the PSV will likely be even tighter. So what, if we start seeing the PSV used as a PS3 controller before the Wii U is released, do we make the even more ridiculous claim that "now Nintendo's copying Sony!" Hardly.
Until we see something that definitively states the PS4 will be shipping with a tablet controller, I don't see how they "copied" anything.
