Right, and I have no problem with that. Nintendo created a competitive spirit with their classic line. It'd be stupid for Sony not to release one and we all sort of expected it. The goal is to make money. I just think calling it PSOne Classic...like their marketing team or software/hardware planning team couldn't come up with a different name than their rivals? That's just kind of embarrassing. 

How so exactly? The name makes sense. Sony had patents in circulation about the PS Wand before the Wii was even out. 

And you are aware that Nintendo didn't have Wii patents before the PS Wand? Come on... And if they really cared about the "PS Wand" they would have taken the Wii technology that was shopped around to Sony and Microsoft (which they laughed away) before coming to Nintendo and Nintendo accepted the idea. We don't know exactly when a device was conceived or prototyped, only finished and that's all that matters in the technological world. Nobody remembers Xerox for the computer mouse...do they?

I'm not saying the name doesn't make sense....that's not my argument. My argument is that it's unoriginal and cheesy due to the fact its coming out right after the NES and SNES Classic. I thought Sony wanted to do everything they could to be different from Nintendo. You don't come out with a console like this, have the same suffix as your rival and don't expect people to point it out. I mean really, as rivals they were just asking for it. 

But this has gone on too long...if you feel it isn't a bit embarrassing, who am I to tell you you're wrong. This is how I feel about it.
