Sony! A Cheap Imitator rips off nintendos new controller

Recommended Posts

Now, i was shocked to find out that SplitFish GameWare has developed a cheap knock-off of Nintendo codename Revolutions new controller for PS2. Its amazing how many times Sony has copied Nintendo over the years and granted nintendo also took some ideas from Sony (ie: controller is very similar) but Sony has now tried to create the Nintento codename Revolution controller (currently BETA) just because the failed to come up with any ideas of thier own!

Heres a picture of the new controller:

This is so annoying. If anyone wants to give thier opinion on this noobish move feel free to call down Sony because they made another huge mistake because this will just make them look worse when the Nintendo codename Revolution comes out.

So save your $60 and spend it on something worth while, like the Nintendo codename Revolution

Ow... Apple made the first mouse, oh noo... All our logitech and microsoft mouses are apple knockoff's.... We gotta burn them now !..What's your point in this? Most controllers look a like, and if Nintendo created a nice, goodworking design, so what if Sony copies it? Gamers would be pleased wouldn't they? And that what it's all about. Pleasing the customer.

well the mouse was an inevitable thing, besides other companies already had the mouse in production, just apple was faster. this is unique and if sony cant stick with thier suckyness why even bother trying to compete, they always steal ideas just like pepsi copies coke, it just makes them look worse

Kinda like saying the Playstation copied super nintendo's buttons and justa dded two more top buttons :/ It's like what -plot- says the mouse is, inevitable. Same thing goes for the controllers. There are always copies of things everywhere, in games, products, just everything that is made out of matter is a copy somehow >_<

Am I missing something? you said SplitFish GameWare made the controller... what does that have to do with sony? Not their fault if another company makes a certain ps3 periph...But yea, the mouse was not inevitable, and it wasn't inevitable that they would leave it the same until now virutally unchanged... it works so when people try to innovate and make better things to replace it, well, they suck and fail. Companies have copied each other all the time.I don't know why they would imitate it anyways :| The ps3 controller looks like the ps2's, which looked like the psx's dual shock. Its boomeranged now but same design mostly, meaning good. The dual shock is only beat by the 360's controllers for awesomeness... I like my controller in one solid piece, hope these dont catch on personally :|

Just thought of this, without copying existing and proved to be good technology. We'd never have computers or anything technological. Imagine everyone had to invent the wheel again, with everyone reinventing something already invented you never have time left to actually do something new.ps.And for what Jeigh said. Dang.... I didn't even realize it that it wasn't sony who was copying controller-design. LOL

Jeigh, agreed, but how was the mouse not inevitable? there are a few different versions of it (touch screen, optical, ect..) but although you could do everything with the keyboard, people wanted an easier way to navigate, there fore the mouse was created, from 1 button, to 2, to 3 to 4, i have a mouse with 8 buttons on it! plus the roller and they created the laser mouse making the mouse pad an unneeded accessory.Anyways back on topic, nintendo has been developing this controller for 3 years trying to make it as small, sleek and combine 4 other nintendo controllers into it, which makes it completly unique (or revolutionary) now that is completly different, because this has been thought of for years and now some other company comes along and makes a big huge clunky imitation of it, which btw is all over the place, dpad would be to hard to reach, and even though sony wasnt the comapny that developed the imitation, its forthe ps2 which makes people who love nintendo think even worse of sony, plus may detour other players away from ps. and it makes people think that the nintendo controller is going to look just as bad....which would wheen people off nintendo aswell...

If you have seen the nintendo Revolution controller you would realize that Nintendo has not only worked hard to make the controller perform good, but they made the controller to play good. Not to mention the controller is almost wireless, Except for the fact that there is a wire connecting the two parts of the controller, Which everyone knows will be squezed by Nintendo so they can use it to it's full potential (Maybe even going the length to making one part of it actually look like a sword). I agree with the plot part saying that the controller that the one company is too clunky, too horrible for anyone to want to play with. I'm more than sure that image would/is probaly some fake trying to make Nintendo look bad.Not to mention the technology used in the Revolution has a patent on it, so the ability of it working how the Revolution's controller is going to work is out of question.

SONY HAS NOT MADE THAT CONTROLLER. Its developed by a 3th party that spacialised in making weird controllers. al least thats wath i've read in a playstation magazine. And btw i think it could be usefull for first person shooters however its pretty weird so i dont think many people would by it

So? Even if that were true. Order is given by Nintendo, product owned by Nintendo. It's merely outsourcing if they really did that.

Well I did see this one coming, Sony going 'me too!' with Microsoft and Nintendo to justify their expensive media product, aimed at promoting blu-ray.

Still, it's not the same at all and few to one game support it. Sony's 'tilt' technology is in a controller held by 2 hands which is not the same at all as nunchuk+wiimote experience.
