What benefit does keeping the NX a secret still have?

The first paragraph is so wrong that I wont comment on that.

To the rest, it has happened many times before.The analog stick, motion controls, controller general scheme.All came from Nintendo.Just because Sony is winning now wont mean they wont notice what their competitors are doing.

Sony is the one who reintroduced (they were used on the Atari 5200 and Vectrex) analog sticks as we know them today, as well as the dual stick EVERYONE uses now.  No one copied the tech used in the N64 controller, not even Nintendo.  Sony was also the one who reintroduced motion controls (again something that dates back to the Atari) back on the PS2, including developing, though never releasing, a controller the Eyetoy could track. Now, I will concede that the success of the Wii is what prompted them to actually continue developing and release the Move. Oh, and here's the Vectrex controller, a system that launched 8 months before the NES.

Look familiar? No? Replace the 1 with Select and the 2 with Start, then add a Dpad where the analog stick is. Uh oh? Nintendo copies confirmed. See, anyone can play that game.

You know the Famicom came out a year before the NES, right?
