Pretty sure the PSP came out before 2008.

 

Also why are you so adamant on pressing this point when you're wrong?

Excuse me how am I wrong? I just provided you proof!

And by the way N64 and Gameboy Advance had console/handheld communication way before Sony!

A cable that allowed the GBA to connect to the Gamecube and supplement gameplay by enabling small games to be played on the GBA in conjuction with Gamecube games.

Hmmm... sounds like the VMU, which came out in 1998. Excuse it for the lack of color.

dont forget Pocketstation or did that not predate VMU??

funny thing is when the WiiU was announced Im pretty sure sony-only guys and haters says its the tablet controller is the STUPIDEST THING EVARR!! and still saying it to this day!.. now whats GOLD is when/if sony shows off their tablet ps4 controller.. it will be the BEST THING EVARR!! ... just wait and see this happen! haha

you're kinda slow, not even counting the PS1 and 2 systems, it was mostly Ninty fans saying the tablet was a stupid idea. Malstromites etc.

Ah, the good old "who copies who" discussion. Carry on then.

 

My sentiments exactly.  Back to playing games again.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials 

 

Conservatives:  Pushing for a small enough government to be a guest in your living room, or even better - your uterus.

LOL, they should lock the thread again because the guy didnt seem to learn his lesson. PSP came out before 08. They had that remote play thing for a while. Granted, it kind of sucked. BUt what is does is stream some content from PS3 to PSP, Not that much different from Wii U tablet and no GBA to GC connectivity doesnt count as it doesnt even do the same thing the others are doing.

Plus, lets be honest here, SOny has there own actual tablet, did anyone really think that they werent gonna intergrate the two to some extent??

LOL....um no. Again this is not about PSP. Do you think Sony would apply for a patent for something to do with the PS3, 4 years after PS3 was released?. Let me try to explain sllllooowwwlllyyy to you. I clearly stated it was a WiiU like controller copy.

The patent I am referring to is NOT for the PSP or remote play. This is for 2010, something completly new.

Do you understand that?

Firstly, Could you please explain what sony is copying? You link us to page 20, yet I’m still unclear as to what you’re citing in both topics.


Second, you tell people to stop attacking you yet … you blatantly treat people as if they’re nerds who have no clear direction? Fair enough if you believe so, but treat others as you wish to be treated .. eh ?

Companys tend to do stuff like that. If the competition comes out with a good successful product then they will want to get in on some of the profit. I think the biggest example is probably the PS Move. Obviously Sony wanted to get in on the whole motion gaming craze (even though the PS Move sucked) so they basically flat out copied the Wii. I really don't care though. It's just how things work.
