The Xbox - Oculus Partnership seems like nothing but PR stunt.

Sony always took the ideas and made it better like with trophies. And most of the stuff MS and Nintendo inveted was copied from some other companies as well. And the pic has many things wrong

- how the hell is sony copying the xbox 360 controller? both have a complete different form. The ps4 buttons didnt changed. In fact they improved both flaws of the ps3 and 360 controller, like having an even surface on the button and digipad layout. No one did that before.

- ps2 had always a slot for upgrading a harddrive and lan connection, before xbox was even released.

- remote play was even on the ps3 possible with the psp before the wiiu was out.

- the ps2 had online before the xbox. 

First of all, I'm fine with taking ideas and making them better. However some Sony fans hail them as innovators when they rarely are.

Actually, I don't think trophies are better. I think earning platinums only appeals to a tiny percentage of players and they make non-platinum trophies feel worthless. But that's my opinion.

OG Xbox was the first to truly utilize a HDD for something more than a couple games and even included it with the console. Later model PS2's removed hard drive support because it was so useless.

Its not the online support they are referring to, PSN was created as a response to XBL.

A few things there are debateable. But there are also things you gotta admit Sony copied.

-Trophies system have levels, you level up like you increase the gamer score on xbox. Platin trophies are just something to show how much of a quality gamer you are. The system is way better than archievments on xbox, various guides and videos on youtube prove that playstation gamers care more about completing games than PC and Xbox games thanks to the Platinum trophies. We wouldnt have these guides and videos without the Platinum trophies on PlayStation.

- og Xbox only used the harddrive for saving game files for 99% of the games, in japan and NA there were also games on ps2 who used the HD like installing the games or online content like MGS3. The numbers are pretty much equal for both.

- And Xbox live was also closed down by MS on the OG xbox, so its not part of the current Live platform of Xbox One, 360 & PC. So Sony had 1 year later PSN. So whats the point with live?
