Impressed by the PS4... Blown away by the X1

Going to have to agree with the OP here. I will never own a MS console but atm they are the company that actually has the games and features I am interested in. It just almost seems like Sony is lost and doesn't know what to do. Everything that stood out about the Vita and now the PS4, came from another company doing it first. I am not interested in followers, I am interested in market leaders, companies that bring new things to the table.

Over the past decade or so, Nintendo and Microsoft have been the leaders when innovation is considered. Sony simply follows behind. 
Microsoft releases the most powerful console.. Sony does it next.
They put a hard drive in there... Sony does it next.
Achievements.. Sony does it next.
Gamerscore... Sony does it next.
Motion gaming with the Wii... Sony comes out with the 'wand'
The Kinect... Sony 'attempts' to position their Eyetoy as a competing product.
A closed, subscription based online gaming service... Sony releases PS+ for their fourth gen machine.
There isn't a single thing that Sony has done that Nintendo or Microsoft felt the need to copy. Nothing. 
It's always been the other way around and still is. 
Can't argue with that. go ahead and try if you like, but it's a losing battle.... and I don't wanna hear about free games on PS+ vs. Games with Gold as an argument. Totally different concepts and integration.

Wait didn't Sega(Sega CD) release the most powerful console or something a while back? Or Dreamcast? So no MS didn't do that first.

And didn't both MS and SONT pretty much copy/follow with motion gaming Kinect/Move?

Achivements and Gamerscore I guess those are innovations...they do add something to shoot for in games. Even though Gamerscore(is just another "high score" method that has been around since atari).And you can't say you don't want to hear about getting free games on PS+ and free games on Gold that is cherry picking if you ask me because it is indeed pretty much the same thing.

Heck one can go as far as to say the XB1 went and changed all of the policies it originally had in place because of the PS4 would that be "copying" as well? No So please don't use this as an argument like you are doing because it is silly.

But I must say this post is kind of silly that is what you do in a business practive you IMPROVE ideas.I have never got why this is sucha  big deal or why folks point it out like it is a bad thing. Just seems silly to me. And as a GAMER I love when the "competition" tries to 1up one another it keeps gaming fresh and fun! So why complain! Just enjoy the times folks!
