M$ made it clear that they want take sony out from the console market

 

i know but thats their weakness. they should focus on their fans and new ideas/IPs more than Sony.

And Sony want to put a hurt on Microsoft also.  That is how the games roll.  You focus on your competitor and try to steal their thunder.  Microsoft is also focusing on Nintendo.

Let me see, Sony has Sing Star. MS has Lips. Sony had GH and now MS has GH as well. Sony has Eye Toy and now MS has Fluid. Me thinks MS is trying too hard and is a gen behind with putting out the tech. Nice pattern emerging.

And Microsoft has Crackdown (and Fable), so Sony comes out with "inFAMOUS".  Nintendo has MIIs so Sony comes out with Home and Avatars.  Microsoft had Geometry Wars, so Sony releases multiple games, including the first rate Super StarDust, to compete with it.

Companies steal and emulate.  They see a market and go after it.

Really...? Sony copied the miis and came up with home? Wouldn't it make more sense to say that sony copied off 2nd life and microsoft copied nintendo with the NXE? Seems a tad bit more plausible...

Lets just say Nintendo creates, Sony evolves and M$ copies



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Dont forget the only reason PSN exists is because MS made XBL.

You do know before there was sing star there was karaoke revolution, right? And MS had a music mixer game also?
And I don't even know why you think guitar hero is fucking relevant at all.

 

EDIT: also, if I wanted to do what you are doing, I would say sony is late and copying MS because of rumble, killzone 2, Trophies, Price, online, and much more. But whatever

 

1/ MS had music mixer first - Ps1 had MTV Music generator long before the xbox.

2/ Guitar hero was on the ps2 before xbox - now it's more associated with the 360 than ps3 imo.

3/RUMBLE was N64 - and all other's copied that.  Ps3 didn't have Rumble at first due to getting sued.  But hey that is all fixd now :D

4/ KZ2???  WTF! MS did not invent FPS.

5/ Tropies - Yeah and? MS didn't invent Achievements, they applied it well.

6/ Price - You get what you payed for - RROD???

7/ Online - well I don't pay for mine and I got all the features I need.  I don't need to pay for lag!

 

This is more about MS trying to complete and crush Sony. MS are being quite direct in their approach and using ideas from Sony that compete for Sony's clients in that specific market.  At the end of the day who really gives a fuck - everything we have in this world comes from other people's ideas and built upon! I say good luck to MS if they pull it off.  If it makes Sony think more outside of the square the better :D

EyeToy...

As always, it comes down to the games. If they can come up with a new game, which actually uses the technology well - then anything is possible.

Wii - WiiSports = failure

i see the flame wars are all ready in full force in this thread, lol great stuff.

But anyway OT, it looks interesting but we'll have to see how they implement it in different games.

Microsoft Fluid ... really ... no. They would never give it a name like that leaving it open to more scrutiny than it would already receive.

Really weird names is the part they're copying from Nintendo.
