Sony wouldn't even be in the videogame sector if it wasn't for Nintendo. They had a partnership which fell through, but Sony saw what nintendo was doing and copied it. Then later microsoft saw what they were both doing and copied that (microsoft is basically built on imitations of other companies work)

They copied Nintendo only better because they used CDs and not archaic ass cartridges, which is why all the third parties came to their yard. The first successful CD-based console! Innovation!

I'll definitely give Sony credit for that, first successful CD-based console. Sony did have (back in their glory days) solid r&d, usually geared towards media & consumer electronics (not gaming). Sony didn't develop CD, DVD, or blu-ray with gaming in mind, although it wasn't a bad idea to use them for gaming. But to be honest, most of what Sony did in the gaming sector was a rip off of what nintendo did, as outlined in Aielyn's post.
