Sony

Come on how can you be blind and not see the blatent attempts that sony does to rip off its competitors

this first started when ps1 came out ---

the controllers and the controller ports both resemble snes controllers /controller ports heck there was a time they had to recall all the ps1s due to sony illegally putting a snes cartridge slot into early ps1 models ,

the 2nd came when they saw the n64 controller and reworked the ps1 controller to resemble it and included just sticks , then --- they later added rumble after n64 had rumble

then they made in 2004 a game called killzone -- i think everyone knows what game this is a rip off of , i dont even need to mention it ,

then in 2009 3 yrs after wii came and went to succeed they created something called move

now this is the most obvious rip off in history of playstation - not only does the main device look similar but the 2nd attachment is exactly like a nunchuck all the way to the wrist strap

So another of these "which faction has the most fanboys present on Gamespot" threads.

I vote Cows, which means Microsoft will win the poll.

Microsoft did at least bring us Achievements, Xbox Live, Gamerscores, DLC and the like. Sony excels at perfecting existing concepts- this is not a bad thing, this is actually wonderful, they take existing concepts like analog sticks, controller vibration, and the like, and they perfect and refine them, until their version is the standard used by the industry. Having said that though, they remain the least INNOVATIVE.

Sony is the least innovative console manufacturer IMO...

Those of you voting MS, are you forgetting who succesfully pushed the on-line console gaming into mainstream?

Without XBL, chances are that console gaming would be much different. Then they also brought in Achivements, a small thing on a first glance, but nevertheless, a very popular one, later copied by Sony (Trophies), and now Wii-U (Accomplishments)...

I'd say Sony. They haven't really innovated anything. MS has brought us a fps that became the basis for console fps, achievments, brought stable online community to consoles, the dashboard button, and complete movement controlls. Sony follows. Nintendo is very innovative though. Always doing something different.

not as simple as putting it like that TC.

Atleat not in my eyes.

At some point in time Sony were the most innovative, it is not right now.

Nintendo have had gens where they had little to none innovation.

MS is too young (on the console market) to make a good judgement call, but both the xbox and 360 have done alot for innovation, things we do like, and do not like.

Overall if we boil down the timelines, I suspect that Sony might be the least innovative, but since I can not fairly comment on MS, they might be.

Overall Nintendo has been pretty innovative on average, so the "least innovative" award does not belong to them in a long stretch.

Sony, don't get me wrong they have a great console and a great library, but that doesn't mean they're innovative.

Nintendo brought motion controls to the mainstream, and MS brought the Kinect.

sony.. Why? they copy wii with ps move, they attempted to make over powered console but sorta failed, good move investing in blueray though. With microsoft is at least trying go beyond that with kinect/bla. If Microsoft didn't come out and made xbl priority I honesty believe ps3 online would be rocking online by the worse online then wii standards. Nintendo doing handhelds right but then again they keep re-releasing DS

hopefully Nintendo release more power full handheld soon. ds is kinda getting old

Clearly sony. I like them a ton more than microsoft, but sony is really bad for not doing anything first. They tend to follow along with whatever is successful with their competitors.

They copied Master Chief with Samus. OK, so they made their protagonist a way hotter character inside the armor, but still. when you strip away that armor... and the zero suit.... and....

mmm, where... where was I going with this again? :oops::oops:

this first started when ps1 came out ---

the controllers and the controller ports both resemble snes controllers /controller ports heck there was a time they had to recall all the ps1s due to sony illegally putting a snes cartridge slot into early ps1 models ,

LOL wat? ok the button layout was similar, but are you inoring the grips? did they copy Nintendo there? cuz I dont remember the SNES controller having gripps.

And WTF are you taking about the PS1 being recalled for SNES catridges? Are out of your mind, or do you just have a cartidge up your ass?

the 2nd came when they saw the n64 controller and reworked the ps1 controller to resemble it and included just sticks , then --- they later added rumble after n64 had rumble

So you are just going to ignore the fact that 2 analog stix is actually pretty revolutionary. Nintendo had one stix, that was the most broken thing ever... But they didnt have two, SONY didnt copy them there.

then they made in 2004 a game called killzone -- i think everyone knows what game this is a rip off of , i dont even need to mention it ,

Plz tell us cuz I dont know any game that KILLZONE is similar to. Sure it was called the HALO killer, but the game is nothing like HALO

then in 2009 3 yrs after wii came and went to succeed they created something called move

now this is the most obvious rip off in history of playstation - not only does the main device look similar but the 2nd attachment is exactly like a nunchuck all the way to the wrist strap

Yeah I give you that, but arent going to give SONY credit for the EYE TOY?

Are you serious?

Because the 3DS is about as powerful as the GCN (Roughly) and the DS was as powerful as an N64.

Sony, Sony, Sony, Sony, Sony, and Sony. Their products are the least innovative, the least exciting, and the least selling. And that goes for more than just Playstation products. They are becoming a laughing stock to the general public and most people have turned their back on them.

Are you talking about recent years?
Because if that's so, it's definitely Sony.

Xbox brought online console gaming into the mainstream, and has done it the best. The total change of the Xbox experience with the update to the whole dashboard and interface meant that consoles no longer stayed the same until they died. Eh, but SW is full of cows.

OB-47

That's for sure, which is why Cows will completely dominate that poll above no matter what and it won't even be close. Polls in SW usually boils down to which fanbase is voting more, not a legit answer to any question. If the population is that vast, it's basically a waste of time having a poll since only one faction SW is full of will vote.

For instance, if I ask which is the highest rated series in a poll : Mario, Uncharted, or Halo...many people don't vote for accuracy, they vote based on their faction/system.

But yeah, looking at the poll results and answers in this thread, your post in red has got to be very accurate I think. :P

Or is it? Hmmm...You see, your statement isn't at all as factual as you presented as evidenced by the close poll with every day revealing a new winner.

The simplistic and old "SW is full of X faction cliche" just doesn't work, even if you hate that faction.

Definitely not Nintendo, I guess Sony would be least innovative.
