If you think someone is trolling make a report.

Do you have evidence that Sony didn't patent the design of the controllers? Because you are saying he is lying, you probably can prove it right?

You may have a patent and not sue small companies that break your patent, can also license it to partners. On the cartridge we are plenty sure it wasn't due to patent in cartridge because not only there were cartridges before Nintendo entered console but also Sony used CD (won't enter the quality discussion) because that was what they were working with Nintendo before the deal died.

If you think it isn't important why did you brought it up? I gave reasons why it likely isn't a copy based on the success of N64 as you claimed.

I have all consoles from Sega, X360, will complete my Nintendo consoles with Switch this year. I certainly favor Sony and call accept myself as a fanboy (although I wouldn't call or ask someone is a fanboy over here). I don't avoid Nintendo, I play several of their games, just not my favorites. Not sure what this have to do with the point.

If you want a reason for the reply besides you bringing the point, would be that in this forum is quite common to have claims that Sony only copies Nintendo all the time.

We are on separate pages here, as I think you misunderstood a couple of my points. The whole thing about the patent was that it was a red herring. It was pretty much stated that "the reason other companies don't have a symmetrical layout is because of Sony's patent". Do you get what I'm saying? Clearly, Sony's patent has nothing to do with why other companies don't have that layout, or do you disagree? I hope you realize this will become very awkward if/when Sony eventually releases a controller with a traditional analog layout.

I consider myself to be very good at reading the intentions of people, and that's why I said "I'm calling you out" to that poster. It's not important to me whether or not N64 was the influencer or not, but it does trigger me a little bit to see people who *are* bothered about it. ... And, you did state that you are a "fanboy", so it leads me to believe that if Sony had offset sticks from the start and other companies used a symmetrical layout, you would have a tendency towards offset. If that's the case, then it's kind of pointless, right?

I've read a lot of your posts on here and we've had impactful discussions. I even got GT Sport due to your recommendation when I bought my PSVR. I think you have a great mind and a great way of conveying your ideas, so I'm not sure if you intentionally misrepresented what I said or if I'm still being unclear (not trying to sound rude). No hard feelings.

So for your first point you would like us to believe that the reason only Sony uses symmetrical is because all other know it is inferior?

You can consider yourself to be a good judge of character, but that is hardly important or can be verifiable. You may have not seem in his post and others that commented upon it, where he says both are valid and ok to use, he preffers symmetrical and that to say it is inferior is due to bias. Basically you are attacking a point that wasn't made.
