Sony and Namco form new content creation company

Frankly I dont care WHAT they stole, the fact that they stole a major game consoles idea is all that matters to me.

And they dont even have the censor working yet, so no, they dont jump around.

what major console idea?

I look at it as not really "stealing" ideas, but more like borrowing or so. All 3 companies do the same thing.

I believe that originally going online was a Dreamcast idea (could've been an earlier console, inform me if it was please). Later MS and Sony took that idea and made it their own. MS did it in a better way with Live though. Now Sony has realized that and wanted to give their consumers something that they would like with PS HOME(or at least more so than the PS2 online structure). Nintendo is now going online too with the Wii Online stuff.

Then theres motion controls. I believe MS was one of the first companies to try that on a controller (think it was for the PC though). They didn't like it so they didn't give it to the 360. Sony just thought that was an intriging idea, so they followed it. So did Nintendo, but they wanted to make it work in a totally new way, and they did it with the Wii-mote and nunchuck.

Then theres the trigger buttons. The single set (one left and one right) started with the SNES/Super Famicom. Ever since then everyone has had at least 1 set of trigger buttons.

But the dual set of triggers started with the PS1. At the time everyone thought it was too complicated for gamers so they ignored it. Later though, other console developers caught onto it.

The GC had 3 buttons (2 left and 1 right) and many Nintendo fans thought that was a great idea, and then the 360 made their controllers have 2 sets of triggers as well (most 360 fans believe its the best controller ever).

So yea, I think sharing. Main because the word "stealing" makes it too negative and thinking liek that would make me fanboy-like. Which I'm not, since i'm a proud owner of all 3 "next-gen" consoles.

i agree, sumwere down the line MS or nintendos sales could drop and they'll look at wat the PS3 does to get sales and "borrow" the idea, and vice versa..........
