3 days don't mean shit and release date doesn't mean shit. Nintendo announced touch screen input for their next console in 2011 and both competitors tacked touch screen input onto their current consoles and are actually first to market with this. Does that also mean that Nintendo copied from them? I guess they do, right?

Answering a question with a question hmmm?  Guess you have no answer then.  Might want to take a look at the microsoft sidewinder also, definatly sega inspiried, but still the same form factor as the xbox controller/s and the x360 controller and it was released when, the mid 90s lol.

 

The first sentence is my answer, the second sentence is an example, and the third/forth questions are either rethorical questions and/or sarcastaball.

 

Concerning your sidewinder remark, please give me an image of a sidewinder controller that even remotely resembles the xbox controller. I have no idea and I'm scrolling through Google images right now but I can't find one.

 

Sega and Microsoft had major ties during the late 90s, nothing Microsoft has done controller wise was inprised by anything Nintendo

First of all, the video: Quoting from the youtube description of said video:

"Other manufacturers products are not relevant here. But why you ask? Well, I am NOT looking at who invented what or who introduced which feature into the console market first. I am simply looking at Sega and Microsoft's design choices from one generation to the next. I am NOT saying who or what (if any) external influence affected their design choices."

So he disregards any influence outside of Sega, which makes his whole video kinda pointless. At least to prove your point.

Anyway, it doesn't really matter if Microsoft took his inspiration from Nintendo or Sega (and the Dreamcast Controller in turn took inspiritaion from Nintendo, look diamond shape, button colors). The bottom line is that microsoft is hardly the originator of their controller design. The only thing they did first was the home button and I can give credit where credit is due.

 

The sidewinder pics have no resemblence to the Xbox brand AT ALL and are indeed heavily influenced from the genesis and sega saturn controllers. There are no analog sticks to be found, no analog triggers and the shape is completely different. Neither shape nor function are in any correlation to the xbox brand.
