Sony copied Nintendo with the memory cards! The memory cards were built into the carts of Nintygames. sony have copied Nintendo with the Rumble Paks. Sony have opied Nintendo with the Analogue pads and have used the SNES design for the controllers.
Now I know wireless controllers were on older consoles but the PS2 have copied Nintendo with the idea of using wireless controllers!
I saw it in the latest SR magazine! An advert for Infra Red controllers! At least Nintendo have the common sense to use Radio so that the signal doensn't stop when something gets in the way!
But Sony didn't use these controllers before Nintendo's Wavebird announcement did they? It was only after Spaceworld that Sony started using wireless!

So Sony have built memory cards into the CD's? Wow, never knew that - I must take my memory cards back and get a refund, as they're clearly not required!
> sony have copied Nintendo with the Rumble Paks.
A rumble pak is a plug-in add-on. A Dual Shock has it built in. Not exactly a copy, and it makes more sense to have it built in anyway.
> Sony have opied Nintendo with the Analogue pads
Erm... analogue pads have been around for years, mate. I don't know who originally made them, but to single out Sony as copying the idea is ridiculous to say the least! Also, I believe Dual Shock (and third-party versions) is the only current joypad to actually use two ananlogue sticks; hardly a carbon copy.
> and have used the SNES design for the controllers.
I though SNES controllers were actually flat, though I won't swear to that.

Sony themselves do not make wireless controllers of any kind, but third-party companies do. So again you are wrong to single out Sony for this.

Infra red controllers have been out on PCs for years, I dont think Sony is copyiing Nintendo. Although your point about Joypad design is correct....Nintendo is the innovative joypad designer, the others copy or modify their designs. As for memory cards The Gamecube has memory card slots too.....a memory card is a necessity for machines which use CDs, DVDs or a modified disc form as you cant write to these discs.
