your threads as always are jokes(like that)

sony(steal of nintendos youth )

What are you talking about? This is serious business. No jokes. Just like gaming. It's serious business (expect when it's Nintendo, who always rely on fun).

As someone mentioned in this thread, Nintendo copied Sony's Home button and nobody give Nintendo hell for copying. It's unfair.

The 360 had an X button. It's one thing to copy a button, another to rip off a whole controller.

When tablet controller for PS4 is shown, the legion of Nintendo fanboys will scream ripoff. You can bet on that.

But it's unfair. It's isn't copying at all, the same way the the Move is to Wiimote.

They are different. They just look and feel the same.

What can Sony possibly do to make everyone happy?

It will depend, if it is a TABLET (no buttons and some internal processing power) nobody will scream ripoff (and everyone will hate it because it will not have buttons). If it is a controller with a screen in the middle of it, yes people will scream rip-off because that is the definition of the WiiU gamepad.

What actually happens, and this is Sony wide.

Sony shows of a product, feature, or function at a major event. They claim it to be out within 6 months to a year. Two or three years later, Microsoft, Apple, or Nintendo launch the exact product. Five years after that, Sony finally puts a product out that is 2 or 3 years behind the curve. Then, not only do they have a under performing product, but they get slapped with the copy cat tag. All while still trying to sell at a premium price.

Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

And they forget to patent it.

Yeah, it's like they have these really good ideas but they aren't willing to take a chance and support them until the competition does it successfully. And on the rare ocassions where Sony does do something first (Eye Toy, Augmented Reality), they tend to screw it up pretty badly to the point where nobody cares.
