Nintendo: Sony Stole From Us
Nintendo UK boss David Yarnton has spoken publicly to MCV regarding Sony’s new “innovative” controller, and (like many expected), he says Sony stole the idea from Nintendo.
“I’d love to dig up some old Phil Harrison comments and say ‘hang on a second – six months ago when we launched our controller you said one thing, and now why are you doing this? I don’t know what their decision making process is but I think if you look back, any innovation that has come in gameplay has come from us.
He continues;
“Historically we’re always developing new things. We know Sony have had a lot of issues with their rumble feature and they’ve had to withdraw it – because they didn’t innovate, they copied. With Nintendo, I’m trying to think of anything we’ve copied… but I can’t.”
So finally Nintendo reps. have spoken publicly about Sony’s controller, and unsurprisingly, they do feel ripped off.
