Sony, despite being the market leader and making INCREDIBLE consoles, seem to be more of a follower than innovator. |
I have to agree with that. As Microsoft came into the market, they thought about how they differentiate from the competition. They focused on former PC-centric games like FPS, focused on online and gave a harddrive. Basically MS moved with Xbox in areas they were comfortable with, as they were closer to a PC. Sony adopted this stuff throughout the lifetime of the PS3 and made more of this with PS4.
I also think 3DS is a take on the PSP while retaining some features of the DS and that Switch is basically a Vita, but thought through to the end.
