Didn't Sony come out with something recently that was kind of questionable? What was it again...?

Oh yeah! PlayStation Vita Pets. Heh, it took me awhile to remember the name.

Xbox Live, Kinect 2.0, Impulse Triggers, and the cloud is filled with innovations so no.

As for the industry.  It is built around taking(Copying or pushing depending on how you look at them) ideas and improving on them

How are those innovations? I have yet to see anything either Sony or MS are doing which could be considered "innovating". Upgrading pre-existing and well established technologies would be a better way of putting the next gen :P



Hmm, obviously the OP doesn't want to discuss... Strange.

Why would you list the PS4's camera, when the kinect itself was rather shamelessly inspired by the PSeye :P

We could go on for weeks listing everything each of the big three has stolen/improved upon from the other. I'd say nintendo are the least prone to copying, but even they have their fair share.

Read my previous comment and this is exactly what I said.  I also have a comment explaining this much further a week or two ago so no need to tell me this.  Tell the OP.

But no PSeye and Kinect are(were) quite different.




       

I will call them the copycats of this Gen as soon as you call Sony the copycats 2.0 this Gen as well. Cross game chat and party chat say hi.



what original idea did microsoft steal from sony?



Microsoft introduced unified memory with the Xbox 360, the Wii U followed it, and now the PS4 is following it.

Microsoft used GDDR memory in the Xbox 360, and now the PS4 is following it.
