lol at everyone wanking on nintendo r&d ms blows about any software company out of the water when it comes to r&d they have stuff in the pipeline for the next 20 years.... give me a break

I guess that's why microsoft basically bought the technology & idea for Kinect from the Israeli developer PrimeSense. I wouldn't exactly call that internal r&d.


they provide the 3d sensing tech.... you're basically telling me michelin invented the car because they made the first tire..... i ain't saying nintendo is a shit company..... they pretty much made the market what it is today..... but somebody saying that nintendo has a better r&d or even can afford the r&d MS has.... has no clue of what they are talking about.... heck even apple is nowhere close....

Microsoft is a true copy & paste company. They blatantly copied the original Mac OS (which could be argued Apple copied from xerox), blatantly copied the ipod, blatantly copied the playstation, etc etc. Microsoft does a decent job of seeing what others are doing, and then copying them. That's not true r&d in my opinion. If you think microsoft has great r&d, then what devices have they ever radically designed themselves from the ground up (which hadn't already been done before)?
