Sony is plagerizing Nintendo

I was watching "Attack of the Show!" and they that when the PS3 gamers get their online feature they could create themselves and go around talking to other people (like The Sims). This is similar the Mii feature on the Wii. What do you guys think about this?

I don't know much about either, but there's something else to prove it. Dark Cloud for PS2.
Its like Zelda. Theres even a Rauru copy in this game!

ugh! sony rearing its pg13 head again, it needs original ideas, i mean, its stuck to the same console design since the psone! anyway, rant over!
as the nintendoians bask in the glory of a personal 'e-mail' feature for theyre wii's, sony are all pooing themselves thinking how to out do nintendo this time, easy ONLINE MESSAGING! a blatent rip off and sony are probably gonna make up some bull about them thinking it first, and stubborn sony fans are going to belive it :glare well, 2nd rant over...wii drought is almost over, hang on in there!

Nintendo doesn't own the idea of having your own character. Besides, the Home system is far different then the Mii system, because your Mii is featured in games, while Home is more like Second Life, because you can visit each other's Homes.

It's way different, I wouldn't call it plagerizing.

How the hell is Playstation HOME copying Miis? They look absolutely nothing like Miis, you can't use them in-game (don't quote me on this, foggy on the details), and you actually take control of them, completely unlike just watching your Mii aimlessly walk around.

Seriously, it pisses me off when I see fanboys of any species make false accusations.

The PS3 and the Wii both suck. Who cares if they copy off eachother. They should be copying off the 360. Or someone with better ideas. And games. And features.

Home is in no way like the Mii plaza, and in most ways is much better than the Mii plaza. So really it's more like they are making a supperior form of Mii's, if anything.

Didn't you guys hear? Nintendo invented video games. Therefore, everybody else is just copying them.

I think that this thread is done now. I mean come on. The Cap'n wins! Yea, but sony kinda has to copy off the wii and 360, otherwise it would suck worse.

I can't even bare to read the name of this thread...

They also invented the joystick and motion sensing technology. Those bastards at $ony and Micro$oft are just mad that they came up with the idea first and incorporated them into their game controllers. May as well sue Atari too, they claim to have invented the first video game! As if; it's common knowledge that Mario was the first game ever.

Actually, I think it was the Jaguar that was the first have joysticks. And Sony had the Eye Toy before Nintendo came up with the Wiimote.

Oh, wait. You were being sarcastic. My bad. ^_^'

i dont think that sony copied nintendo in anyway. However...i must say i hate how uncreative sony is. SAME CONTROLLER FOR 3 CONSOLES IN A ROW! talk about repetitive.

I really liked the boomerang controller. Maybe a third party will be able to get their hands on the idea and make them for PS3.

Actually you might that 2 in a row. The PS3 controller is different, due the the implement of SIXAXIS technology. With that being said it doesn't make Sony any less of a company to Nintendo or Microsoft -- Nintendo used the design of the NES controller with the SNES controller, at least somewhat. And that doesn't include the GB design and control scheme layout has been followed all the way up to the GB Micro. And Microsoft they used the same controller for the Xbox and Xbox 360, the only difference is a slightly sleeker control model, with a big "X" button in the middle, and now they're back triggers at the end.

Did I say ANYTHING about HOME? no. but Thats what it may be called

This is what freakin meant. Wii came out with the Mii feature. You can create yourself and etc.

Sony liked that idea (and you know what they do, they take someone elses idea and try to make there own) and put it on there system. This isn't the only feature that Sony has copied. They try to make so if you tip the PS3 controller... nevermind.

I am not a specified fanboy and I am not making false accusations. They also made a game not surprisingly similar to SSBM.

So bite me, Mkay?

That's what it's called, faitard. Also, you mentioned something about HOME in your original post.

This is what freakin meant. Wii came out with the Mii feature. You can create yourself and etc.

But unlike the characters in HOME, the Miis can interact in the game. I have to say though, I'm much more fond of the characters in HOME and I don't really see any ripoff coming from Sony.

Sony liked that idea (and you know what they do, they take someone elses idea and try to make there own)

You sir, fail to recognize how a business is run which is to be expected from an idiotic fanboy. Nintendo has stolen ideas too. Doesn't the C-stick and direction pad on the GC controller look a lot similar to the PS2 controller? That right there, is copied from Sony.

This isn't the only feature that Sony has copied. They try to make so if you tip the PS3 controller... nevermind.

Idiot.

While I my agree that throwing motion sensors on there at the last minute is stupid, this does not mean a copy right infringement. The Wii has tilt sensors, yes, but it also has motion sensors as well. Again, you're too stupid to see how a business is run.

I am not a specified fanboy and I am not making false accusations. They also made a game not surprisingly similar to SSBM.

Your post begs to differ. Also, there were fighting games with characters from a same franchise way before SSBM. Ever hear of a game called Marvel vs. Capcom?

Somebody lock this failure of a thread.

I think the key phrase there is "Like The Sims". Last time I checked 'The Sims' wasn't a Nintendo game.

I don't know if Sony is copying Nintendo, HOME is too different to be plagerizing from the Miis.

But, I do know this:

In 1972 - Atari releases PONG
In 1977 - The Atari 2600 is released under the name Atari VCS
In 1978 - Taito releases Space Invaderes
In 1981 - Nintendo releases Donkey Kong
In 1983 - The Nintendo Family Computer (Japanese version of NES) is released in Japan
In 1985 - The NES is released in the US
In 1990 - Nintendo releases Super Mario Bros. 3 in North America for the NES
In 1991 - Nintendo releases the SNES
In 1992 - Midway Games releases Mortal Kombat. Nintendo releases The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Super Mario Kart.
In 1993 - Brøderbund releases Myst.
In 1994 - Sony releases the Playstation
In 1996 - Nintendo releases the N64 and Super Mario 64
In 1997 - Square releases Final Fantasy VII.
In 1998 - Sega releases the Dreamcast
In 1999 - Counter-Strike, a mod for Half-Life is released.
In 2000 - Sony releases the PlayStation 2.
In 2001 - Nintendo releases the Nintendo GameCube. Microsoft releases the Xbox.
In 2002 - Blizzard Entertainment releases Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos.
In 2003 - Nintendo releases The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
In 2004 - Nintendo releases Nintendo DS
In 2005 - Sony releases the PSP handheld gaming system. Microsoft releases the Xbox 360.
In 2006 - Sony releases the PlayStation 3. Nintendo releases its Wii console. Nintendo releases long awaited The Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess

I'm sure some other games were released in and between some of the years.

Nintendo probably got ideas from Atari and then Sony got some ideas from Nintendo and Microsoft got some ideas from Sony. They're probably all guilty of taking some of other companies ideas and using them for their own.

But I don't think Sony is plagerizing Nintendo with HOME.

You just reminded me, Nintendo also invented the fighting game genre, too. Good catch!
