That's why I buy Nintendo product. I prefer 'the original' one.

Original Copy

NES Dpad (1986) Playstation Dpad (1994)
SNES L & R button (1991) Playstation L1,L2,R1,R2 button (1994)
N64 Analog stick (1996) Dualshock analog stick (1998)
N64 Rumble Pak (1997) Dualshock rumble (1998)
Wavebird (2002) PS3 wireless controller (2006)
Wii remote Nunchuk (2006) Sixaxis (2006)

The worst part is when Sony claimed they invented them all before Nintendo did, somewhat like this:

Please don't say Nintendo copied them too from 'something unpopular', because it's obvious that Nintendo make them popular and Sony try to steal them when they're popular already.

  I don't deny Nintendo's creative approach and many contributions to the videogame industry, but your post is very manipulative.

 

Sony L2  & R2 copied by Nintendo later

Sony form factor (better ergonomy) copied by Nintendo's Gamecube controller

Sony use of discs copied by Nintendo after swearing to God cartridges were the only decent format for gaming.

Atari wireless controller >  15-20 years before Wavebird?

MS Sidewinder motion controller  >>> Wiimote nunchuck

 

On the other hand, your argument for discarding copies if they were made from less popular products is terribly flawed. Shoud we the consider MS as king of innovation for taking Windows to the masses??
