Ps2 phr33ks...

Sony took the "basic" design from Nintendo and also borrowed the joystick idea from Nintendo

But hey, that comment there wasn't fanboyish at all. I was just cracking a harmless joke.

it was already established that the Playstation was intended to be an add-on for the SNES... but it was broken off and so Sony kept the idea and went with it.

Now whose to say the Gamecube isn't copying SONY's Dual Analog setup? Now the gamecube has a joystick on the left and the yellow analog on the right...and we all know SONY came out with the dual analog's first......... so...... did Nintendo copy SONY? I wouldn't say they did, but the way your saying SONY copied Nintendo... it might be fair to say Nintendo copied SONY too............it goes both ways.

So basically the two companies have borrowed from each other........ it doesn't really matter...... it's just button setups

[edit] now that I look at it...



Thats an exact replica of a PS2 Dual Analog controller, with the GameCube's Dpad and Joystick switched around so it don't look the same.... and the button setup just scrambled.

It almost LOOKS exactly like the PS2 controller...... LOL....whatever..............I'm just saying..... I hope I don't stir up mixed emotions...

But if you compare the PS controller setup to that of the SNES, you will see that Sony copied Nintendo. So your arguement becomes invalid.

But how can one copy something from someone when they made it WITH that someone?


boggles the mind dont it?

Yeah, but Nintendo didn't make the Super Nintendo controller with Sony, and the agrument is that the PS controller looks like the SNES controller...The team up with Sony is somewhat irrelevant in this case.

How is it irrelevant? if nintendo made the PS controller with Sony, then how could sony of copied the design? has nothing to do with who made the SNES controller.

[The Germanator]

Was there any actual proof that Nintendo actually helped design the PS controller? I know that Sony and Nintendo were in talks with the whole CD add-on deal, but did it ever get to the point where they actually designed the controller? I never remember reading about that, but if you could provide a link to a story or cite something from a book that'd be cool. Not trying to be a jerk, but I've never personally heard anything about Nintendo having any input about the PS controller.
