This is rather funny, that you come here with a shitpost pic after getting annoyed that someone suggested Sony copied Nintendo. And call me hostile.

Anyway, the pic you posted is dumb and doesn't make sense. The context is a bit strange too. You said that Nintendo copies, but this suggests that either some claimed that Nintendo did it first, or is it that they got inspired by something else? Did Nintendo copy or get inspired to make Mario 64 from some obscure 1990 game? Hard to believe. As for the actual facts. The first one is not very honest. Digital pads, or just contacts in this case, have been there long before Mattel ventured into the console business. Hell, even Nintendo with their TV game pong consoles had those kinds of contacts. Widely used before any of that in calculators and such. So what is it, the D-pad? Just check this video on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnmMDzgTB7o . It's no secret that Nintendo with that gamepad popularized the form factor. We still use that NES gamepad form factor more or less today. Not a intellivision type joy stick phone form factor. Which brings me to the next thing, start and select buttons on the Atari 5200 is a little dishonest. They had different functions, there is no select button on the Atari controller btw. It has Start, Pause and Reset, which were buttons that used to be on the console itself, which Nintendo also had on Game and Watch etc (game mode and selection buttons). It's a dumb thing to compare cause they had different uses too. The third one.. shoulder buttons.. does the Intellivision controller even have shoulder buttons? Can they be considered shoulders? Those are it's primary fire buttons and they all do the same thing basically. 

I can go on rambling but I have work to do and you already get the point I hope. When I already got 3 down, I think most of it isn't that hard to debunk either.

So how about you stop the flaming instigating then... Nintendo has been inspired by things and has inspired things simple leave it at that
