- RoadDoggFL, on 10/10/2007, -11/+91He got his flash cards mixed up. He meant to thank Nintendo for showing Sony that motion-sensing controllers were actually a good idea.
- Yang1205, on 10/10/2007, -8/+79I'll stick with my N-Gage BITCHES
/sarcasm - KMye, on 10/10/2007, -2/+55That would have been so much better if you'd just left the /sarcasm off it. If people are too dumb to get your joke, ***** 'em
- shug7272, on 10/10/2007, -7/+49Yea I guess Nintendo should thank Atari then.
- TrevorBradley, on 10/10/2007, -5/+45Nintendo: We'll hand your ass to you and make you thank us for it.
- trunkster, on 10/10/2007, -4/+42Putting console choice aside I think we can all agree:
EA sucks. - shug7272, on 10/10/2007, -11/+45And the 12 year olds start their wars of whose is bigger.... Just take the story for what its is. A compliment and shut up, nobody wants to hear it. Sonys right, Nintendo brought gamers into the fold nobody else would have. NOT MS and NOT EA.
- doshindude, on 10/10/2007, -28/+59They should thank Nintendo for thinking of stuff that they stole from them (rumble, motion control, etc)
- Ajajadude, on 10/10/2007, -4/+31Damn, that's where I was hoping EA would go.
Wait, so, if Sony goes the way of Atari and Sega, does that mean everyone will reminisce about how great it was to own a PSX? - iZealot, on 10/10/2007, -6/+30Also forgot to thank Nintendo for showing that force feedback continues to immerse gamers and is not last gen.
- Amablue, on 10/10/2007, -3/+25Like load times for instance.
- chubbybubba, on 10/10/2007, -6/+26The best thing about the wii is that it keeps your kids away from the 360 and ps3. And it keeps them away from the HD set. When my kids are hassling me to buy or rent a game, I'm like, "lets check out the wii section." I swear that without a wii version of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I'd have never finished Gears of war.
- swiecki, on 10/10/2007, -15/+34This is happening less and less as more sony conferences go by, but does anyone get the feeling that the guys on stage at the sony press conferences are arrogant *****?
- triplehelix, on 10/10/2007, -2/+20actually, nintendo shot themselves in the foot in that situation
- panzergeist, on 10/10/2007, -2/+20Yep. In fact, if Sony goes the way of Atari and Sega, everyone will find it cool to say they owned a PS3 and that it was a great system that died before its time. Shade of Dreamcast. And Microsoft will have been involved in the death of two giants of the industry (HINT: MS was involved with Sega in the making of the Dreamcast before MS put the final nail in it's coffin by announcing the Xbox.)
I find that both humorous and disturbing at the same time. - Edrick, on 10/10/2007, -3/+20Erm.
SNES: http://www.cliffracer.com/store/images/snes-controlpad1.jpg
PS1 (original controller at launch): http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/b0/Playstation_Controller.jpg/180px-Playstation_Controller.jpg - therealNofutcha, on 10/10/2007, -3/+18normally i agree, but this being digg, he would have been dugg down cause "omg teh ngayge sux, xbawks!!"
- smackhero, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15..and windows runs on x86 architecture, therefore intel created all gaming innovations--but wait, all computers run on electricity, so we really should have benjamin franklin to thank! benjamin franklin must be the father of video games.
you're a moron. - Nossie, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14All EA have ever done is gobbled up fantastic companies and farted out half assed licenses and craptastic sequels of sequels.
R.I.P Bullfrog :( we miss great games. - Nossie, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16I never owned a Dreamcast.... but from I can see I wish I had :( It really did die before its time
HINT: Sony was involved with Nintendo in the making of the Nintendo CD player for the SNES before Sony put the final nail in its coffin by announcing the PlayStation.)
:P - Murdats, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13god damnit people like you piss me off.
how long till there were good games on the 360?
gears of war took over a year, halo 3? etc.
it took about a year for good releases to start rolling out for the 360.
you expect companies to say, hey lets make a wii game, press their magic game making button and have it on the shelves within a month?
there is a reason that all the games atm are ports and minigames, they are quick to make
there is a reason that the good quality games are missing, they are still spending time on building that quality. - specialK16, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14Sega thought of it first.
- staticneuron, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14Only cause they turned coat and decided to go to Philips after Sony did all the work. So I guess the PlayStation was sorta a F U to nintendo. And man, it was a very heavy handed slap to the face.
- vapblack, on 10/10/2007, -3/+16"Digg me down if you want"
done! - Namco, on 10/10/2007, -7/+19Nice compliment after calling the Wii a toy and the DS ghetto. Now they're eating crow as the wii and DS outsell Sony 5 to 1.
- Tippis, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Poor crows... :(
Couldn't you just use something humane, like Anthrax or Sarin gas? - LocalDocal, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12But I'm already reminiscing about how great it was to own a PSX. Seriously, with games like Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy VII, Xenogears, and so many others, I would rank the PSX right up there with the SNES in terms of excellent games. I myself haven't been able to own such an incredible library during the GCN/XBox/PS2 era and neither does it look good for me this era.
- maexus, on 10/10/2007, -3/+14I honestly don't care either way but I see what Reddevil is saying. Take an SNES controller, add the hand grips and add a second row of shoulder buttons. The actual shape without the hand grips and extra shoulder buttons pretty damn close.
- Dundasbro, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11I have an N-Gage... :(
- Sketchcast, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Nintendo also invented the D-Pad. Every controller innovation thus far has been brought upon by Nintendo.
- Amablue, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11The original PS controller was a SNES controller with additional shoulder buttons and some handles. Then the N64 came out with an analog stick. Sony copied it and put two analog sticks. Then Nintendo added motion controls and Sony copied. I'm almost surprised they didn't put 1 megapixel camera in the front of it like the Wii-remote has for pointing.
- Zettabyte, on 10/10/2007, -8/+17Microsoft and Nintendo should thank sega for there contoller designs too?
Wimmote is pretty simalar motion sense Sega Bass fishing rod controller
The Microsoft controller is like Dreamcasts controller. - Namco, on 10/10/2007, -5/+14Um Atari crashed the entire video game industry. Nintendo came along and rescued it with quality games and great licenses.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11... analog stick, shoulder buttons...
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+13people who think sony are heading towards bankruptcy are just complete idiots
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8I use mine to throw at the crows that hang out near my car after work.
- adml_shake, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9My Phantom will pwn you...oh....
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+11Shug: Do you even know what PR is? This is a backhanded compliment at best.
- Nossie, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8I wouldnt say that the Wii (or GC for that matter) were 'childs play' but you have to admit that the vast majority of Nintendos games have always been based at the 'wholesome family'
Mortal Kombat with the grey blood? anyone ? *cries*
but saying that, I just cant get enough of the mario/zelda games XD - thatsmyaibo, on 10/10/2007, -8/+15Oh...yeah...Sony copied everything from Nintendo. In case you guys forgot, Sony originally developed the Playstation for Nintendo but was turned down because they didn't think digital media would work. I don't care if you hate Sony or not, they brought a lot to the gaming world.
- MarkOfTheDead, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Yeah, but look at Nintendo's development and implementation of their motion control system as opposed to Sony's. Not counting ***** ported wii games or as I call them wii-makes, look at the sixaxis vs. the wii remote. which one seems more tacked on?
- grumpyrain, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Benjamin Franklin FTW!!1!!
- Shanobi, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Like this guy has kids.
- KMye, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7exactly, ***** them, and ***** the comment's score, and just be happy the people who get the joke are enjoying it to its fullest. (or do most people still view their comments using something other than "show all"?)
- darkNiGHTS, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Thank Atari for what? The NES controller looked way different than any Atari system controller.
- dixonij, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7Looks like Sony borrowed the button placement while expanding the plastic pieces to create the handles on the PS controller.
- jellygraph, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6good to see Sony demonstrate intelligence on the same level as their current main user base.
- MalDON, on 10/10/2007, -3/+9That's a good point. Geesh, I'm buying a wii tomorrow.
- felyduw, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8So Wii is a child's "play thing" but PS3 and 360 aren't. *Long Audible Sigh*
