Dear children and adults who act like children;
Everything successful thing you know about computers has been successfully copied from someone's prior attempt. Innovation isn't just creating something a new, innovation is also taking something and making it better.
If either Nintendo with their "remote play" feature, or Sony with the Eye Toy were successful with their implementation, then there wouldn't have been room for Sony or Microsoft to create and find success with their methods or devices.
The very nature of computers is to build upon what someone else has done and find a way to do it better. Apple took an idea that Xerox didn't run with, the mouse, and made it a necessary component of computing. Then, Microsoft added a second button, then a scroll wheel, then Logitech added side buttons. Computers were, are, and always will be a game of one-up-man-ship. So the fact that one idea builds upon the other in video games, a computer system, shouldn't surprise any of you.
In computers, being first doesn't mean anything unless by being first your idea was a success. If it wasn't, and someone runs with your idea and does it better than you did and is successful, the fact that you did it first doesn't mean squat.
Being first off the line or to a checkpoint doesn't mean anything when you're in a long brutal marathon. What matters is where you place when the race is finished. This particular race is far from over and there is a lot of room for innovation yet.
