Well technically supergame boy was addon for two different consoles compared to PSP and Nomad which were single system and had the ability to hook it up to ur tv "built in". But dont you think we should walk down a little bit more down the road and meet Turbo Grafx 16 and Turbo Express, oh and look who we have next door, Game Gear which also had an addon to play Sega Master systems carts, how fascinating. Predates Super Game Boy "originality" by 4 years. And 4 year's are enough to come up with something "innovative". Sorry to burst your bubble. 

So the best you can come up with are handheld consoles nobody every played or bought. Fascinating. Innovation is building on top of the knowledge of previous generations: we don't start from zero every time we "invent" something new. Scientific knowledge is cumulative, something a lot of you guys are apparently unaware of.

Oh and it's entirely possible for two entities to come up with the same idea independently from each other: just look at farming and the domestication of animals.

So when Nintendo does it isn't copying because the idea wasn't successful, but when others do it is copying because Nintendo made them successful? So much bending in this one.

Even more when we consider people try to blame sony of copying nintendo on dualshock, although it was under development before N64 made any success with it (and made it integrated, so different than what N64 had, and from your perspective that would be innovation and not copy), same on the Wii case, since PS2 already had eyetoy and sixaxis already had motion sensitive controls before Wii was a thing and we can cancel powerglove since it wasn't a success... thank you for confirming that Sony never copied Nintendo.

First you are acting like poor Nintendo is the one that is always ripped by others but don't copy others ideas...

I already said TWICE that I don't want to blame any compnay for stealing any idea. That's not what this was about.

So reddo your OP and instead of saying copying say they would reinforce their efforts in the same direction, because both companies already had tentatives on these directions before.
