Nintendo things that Sony ripped off -

1. The D Pad
2. The Analog Stick
3. Rumble Feature
4. Entered Handheld Market
5. Five other things is a bit harsh isnt it?

And I did not say Nintendo aren't theives in general, I meant in the context of what Angrist said they are not theives. Of course one console company or developer will rip off anothers ideas, if they see a good thing they will get in on it. But that controller in Angrists post is a blatant rip off of the style of the Wii controller a case of product familiarity branding and a damned lazy attempt on Sony's part. Why not make something entirely of their own?
