I really hope not because we don't need more of these "___ is copying Nintendo!" arguments.


what arguement.  nintendo copied apple and that's a fact.

Right, and apple coppied palm...

sure, we can say they copied palm, or hell, even the dream cast. 

when elitest nintendo fans are throwing then nintendo is the only innovative company elitism my way they always start by saying "nintendo was first to market" and when that can be disproven they fall back on "first to market mass sucess".  ipad is a tablet controller that plays game and interacts with tvs in the exact same way as the wiiU, can to market sooner and is massively successful.  i don't care what the rules are but keep them consistent.  nintendo clearly copied apple.


You still haven't answered my question ... In what way has Nintendo copied Apple?

On November 21, 2004 Nintendo released the Nintendo DS which was a 2 screen (1 touch screen) gaming system with a variety of conventional controls; and on June 29, 2007 Apple released the iPhone which was a device based entirely around a touch screen.  The Wii U is a 2 screen (1 touch screen) gaming system with a variety of conventional controls, which makes it far more in line with what Nintendo has been doing for 8 years than what Apple has been doing for 5.
