They obviously liked Xbox smartglass - http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/20/sony-announces-playstation-app-for-ios-android/

And they seem to think Kinect was a good idea - http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/20/PlayStation4-eye/

They obviously found much joy in a PC like architecture and development simplicity that Xbox always provided to devs.

 

Pokoko nailed it pretty much.

Tablet/phone integration has already been happening, XBox smartglass wasn't even the first showing of the concept, let alone is it going to be the first implementation.

SONY beat the Kinect to the punch, and imo already had a better implementation of the concept from the beginning, and of course they have never trumpeted it so hard that you might think it is meant to be a replacement for the primary controller (which is a stupid bad idea).

You got this one right though. Microsoft has always excelled with the best development tools. The archtecture itself is not quite the real reason its easier to develop, but it doesn't hurt.

Don 't forget WiiU's Gamepad and Vita for PS4.

ps move is still used too which is an obvious wiimote tribute... but they appear to be doing something unique with this. i mean i am not sure what media molecule was showing there but ive never seen anything like that before. it could be cool...

How to Make friends In Dark Souls 3

You forgot how much of the new services, like the big o' share button, intigration with Facebook, you friends, voice and video chat, using pictures on your sliding Windows 8 looking interface, etc. looks just like Sony is bringing Xbox Live to the PlayStation.

I don't mean this as a slam, they are taking the best from the Xbox and WiiU an putting them together on their system. It looks good even if I chuckeled at SP4 Kinect.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Well if you're considering older generations, then don't forget

-Analog Sticks, Shoulder Buttons, a D-Pad, Start/Select Buttons, 4 button configuration on the right, the home button, and well yea...the whole controller basically. However most of that is an imitation off Nintendo, who we all secretly love.

Don't forget 3D projection mapping from Sony and Illumiroom from Microsoft. Oh wait....



I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.

SmartGlass works pretty well on my Windows 8 Laptop and Windows Phone Device, also on Iphone works really well.

Nothing wrong with copy/paste, Microsoft will show true innovation again. At least i hope so.
