So we all know that Sony's first Playstation controller was a complete derivation from the SNES controller, considering that the system was meant to begin as a CD addon for the SNES, but perhaps the copying goes a little further than people think...

Take for instance the button layout for the SNES. The action buttons were always referred to (as a whole) as ABXY, alphabetical order layout.

Now, Sony ditched the lettering and went shapes, but if you notice, the shapes all have to do with how many lines it takes to draw the shape. Circle is 1 line, Cross is 2 lines, Triangle is 3 lines and Square is 4 lines. Lined up in the same way as the SNES ABXY layout, we get 1234!

Plagiarism confirmed! 

lol... i thought this was a nsanity thread though im not surprised

Not sure if trolling or serious......

You're not suprised that plagiarism is abundant?!?!

all i'm saying is that nintendo better step the fk up and get some games out
you nintendo fans seem awfully bored imo

When you're older and have commitments, you'll understand...

that was a good 1 lol i'm a sony fan and i'm pretty sure you've posted about 10x as much as i've posted in the sony forum since the announcement yesterday...

what commitments could you possibly be talking about? lol

Circle is a curve... Just saying...

Sony and Nintendo were designing a console together, but it didn't work out.
