I know most of my posts are the same but who cares? As most of you will know the greystation is pathetic. Sony have copied Nintendos idea of coloured consoles. The gamecube has five or more different colours so Sony thought their black brick should be in different colours too so now the playstation 2 has a couple of different clours which look rare.

This is why Miamoto made the new Zelda game with the cartoony look as in E3 he showed the brilliant Zelda game (the cool graphics one) and as he thought the other consoles copied his idea so he made the cartoony Zelda game.

Playstation also copied Nintendo by copying their 3D stick. They also copied other things but I don't think anyone wants to hear anymore so see ya!

Can I just say that stephen sounds like a 3 year old in his post. Firstly, why do you call it the greystation?? Why can't you call it a playstation? The greystation was a word used by NOM to try and make the playstation look pathetic but it didn't work and just made the magazine look even more biast and childish! You obviously have the same views as the magazine and believe that all N64 games are great and that all playstation games are crap! Well I hate to burst your bubble but you look at how many crap games the N64 has brought out; Clayfighter?? Superman?? Carmageddon?!!? They may have brought some classic games out like Goldeneye and Zelda but the playstation has had is fair share of games as well! It's had some pretty crap games and some amazing games! As an N64 owner I still enjoy playing playstation games as a lot of them are really good but I guess you see a playstation and start to have a go about it before even playing it!
And about you saying the playstation stole all the ideas off N64, you could accuse any console of doing that! How about the first console to come out in colour, all the other consoles copied it! The first joypad, all consoles used it and advanced on it. If you actually look at the gamecube controller it is actually very similar to the playstation controller. Its got a built in rumble!! Oh No N64 are crap because they copied playstation!
If you look at all the consoles, what is happening is that newer consoles are taking ideas off of other consoles and improving on them. Lets pay £15 for a rumble pak for the N64, playstation saw this idea and improved on it. Built in rumble with no batteries, a lot cheaper and better than the N64 idea.
Basically stephen, y don't you go up to your bedroom and stay there playing your N64 which you obviously worship, while I will go and play some other consoles and games which are much better than the N64!

Having just read the whole thread, I've got to say:
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?

All the consoles mentioned are great! Without Sony's pursual of 3D gaming, Nintendo would have most likely made another 2D based console. Sega and Ninty both waited till Sony released their specs, saw that Sony was aiming for 3D gaming, and followed suite. Sega diud this by rushing the console out, and Nintendo forged new hardware partnerships.

The relatioshipe between consoles works both ways- Sony realised that rumble and analogue controllers were the way forward, so produced the Dual Analogue pad; clearly this would not have been if Nintendo were not on the scene. Having said that, it apears that Nintendo quite like the idea of having TWO sticks on a controller, so have done this with the GC.

But above all else, both the company's consoles have great games... and that's all that matters! The N64 has seen the like of Mario 64- the benchmark for all future 3D platformers- and the epic Zelda OTT. The PS has seen games ranging from Gran Turismo to MGS. I certainly can't critise either console for not doing its job... letting people play great games.

But then again, maybe I'm just blind?

Well I don't care what anyone says about Nintendo because I will always like it even if it copied or will copy any other console because I'm a True Nintendo fan and there is nothing wrong with the Nintendo official Magazine or NOM for short. I wil continue buying it and playing my Nintendo 64 and its great games FOREVER!!!
