Who started the slim trend then?  There was a slim nes and SNES.  Atari had joystick not analog stick...  Also this is in context of consoles not PCs.

I find it insulting because all the slaps on the back that sony get from some folk on here is IMO completely unjustified.

They wait for people to innovate, and than simply tweak it and take  all the god damn credit, via advertising it as their own with huge budgets.

Oh, and the slim was in the Nintendo section, not the sony one, my mistake, i'll take that jab at sony back.

Of the big three, Nintendo has without a doubt done the most overall for Gaming, but there is no denying Sony pretty much built gaming up to the scale we see now (or at least propelled its rise to the mainstream by quite a few years). Despite that though, I think Nintendo still out them in this.

MS have done quite a few great things (Xbox Live being the biggest), but none that could be considered game changing (heh) for the industry. That's likely due to the fact they arrived late more than anything.

Eh???

I said STARTED the trend, not popularize the trend.  Nintendo started it then Sony made it popular.  It doesn't matter how popular the nes or snes slims were, they started it.  Also something doesn't have to be popular to be a trend.

something i found online:

I hadn't even thought of it like that

Nintendo definitely the most innovative

Atari

Sure, just like all rectangles are squares.
