HerLoss Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Is it just me, or did Microsoft totally rip off the dualshock controller? The only difference I see is they switched the D-pad and the left stick. If anyone wants to bother looking, the 360 has 4 trigger buttons similar to the dualshock as well. Heres some photos for referance: VS. Or even the bananna... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman3750 Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Who the heck would buy the bananna, that thing is huge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyougi Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 The analog stick/D-Pad looks like G-Cube's format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/\/\/\/ Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 it pretty much is. but that is to be expected as people have been copying nintendo since who knows when. and now that i get a closer look at the banana, it looks way more uncomfortable than i ever imagined. and here's all these people dissing nintendo for the rev. my god look whose talking.

Kyougi Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 If they moved the L/R buttons down the side a bit, and squared out the sides a bit, it would be nice, but right now, it's kinda awkward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stan92 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I think that the bananna one is huge and very weird looking. I wonder how you would hold that thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majazac Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 i already used the banana... is not that discomfortable. but really... nintendo is always copied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myscrnnm II Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 i already used the banana... is not that discomfortable. but really... nintendo is always copied No. Nintendo is not copied very often, cuz their ideas are really stupid. So you have to have good innovative companies like Microsoft and Sony to make high-quality products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerLoss Posted November 27, 2005 Author Share Posted November 27, 2005 Yeah, who copied nintendo in the first place by making game consoles, if they can even be called such, and copied sega in using cd's for a game medium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not really copying. And Nintendo wasn't the first company to make gaming consoles anyway. You can't consider this copying cuz that's like saying that HP copied IBM by starting to make computers. And they did not copy Sega to use CDs. The Playstation entertainment system and the Sega Saturn were released just one month apart. This can also be backed by the fact that Sony was developing a CD-player to be used for gaming a long time before the Playstation was released. And you can't call such things like making gaming consoles copying, cuz they are general ideas, not big ideas that no one else has thought of.

majazac Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Ok, maybe copying isn't the real term. Let's say inspired by. It's a fact that Nitendo is the best console manufacturer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameClaw_268 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Well, what about Wireless controllers? Nintendo's Wavebird was the First Ever(for a console). Or rumble Packs? Since the N64 had em first(although not integrated into the controller) Also, sony got sued for the Dualshock for copying some small company that Patented it first. Also, Sony was brought into the console market by Nintendo. Sony's PS1 controller design was even "borrowed" from the Virtual Boy. We really can't get on company's cases about this, however, or Microsoft would have never made a GUI, and Xerox would have tossed the Mouse Idea long ago. Anyone for Command Line Interface?
