Yes, yes. if you narrow the rules of anything down fine enough you can get the outcome you prefer.
Were they the first with achievements? no.
Were they the first to implement them across a platform? yes.
But they werent the first to HAVE achievements, were they?, If i draw a picture, then you use it on the cover of a magazine, does it mean anyone else using it on the cover of their magazine ripped you off? does it reaaaly? or are you basically just "borrowing ideas" from the person who drew the original?
In that sense, Microsoft "borrowed ideas" from games that features achievements, just like Sony "borrowed ideas" from the xbox platform, and built their own system, just like Microsoft "borrowed ideas" from Nintendo and made an xbox version of Nintendo's "Miis"
So, would you like to say everyone ripped off microsoft and that microsoft ripped off eveyone else too, or would you like to be logical and just say "actually yeah, everyones just building the same kinda thing and lending ideas off each other".
Your choice.
