I always thought sony controllers were a mash up between Microsoft and Nintendo controllers, I mean -
Dual Shock 3 controller had a the facets of a normal controller with "some" motion sensing implemented to it.
When MS launched the kinect, Sony released released the PS eye toy with kinect like abilities except that it detected the Wii like motion controllers "dubbed" Move.
Now the PS4 controller is said to have 360 like triggers and a Wii U gamepad like touch screen built in.
convinced yet?

More Nintendo doom and gloom? Used to read the same about Wii as well. Has been only 2.5 months since launch. How many games PS3 have back then? 
Consoles pick up later.
Consoles pick up later.yeah. they sort of try to copy from both ends.

Welcome to TDF mate.
Yeah i would agree that Xbox 360's controller is the best and surpasses the dual shock 3 in terms of ergonomics. But dual shock's design was so perfect since the advent of
PS1 that the same design has been around since 1994.
I mean Sony has been following the phrase "why fix if it ain't broke" which holds true here.
You are again right that wii too had some innovation to showcase in its wii-mote. But again its audience are too casual.
And i had used a wii for a year and have lots and lots of hands-on experience. Believe me, a hardcore gamer or somebody even interested in gaming a bit more than casually, won't look back at the wii. Wii-mote works well with games like new super mario bros ( good game) & wii- sports. When i tried some hardcore gaming with it ( resident evil darkside chronicles), it proved to be a big turn-off. The game was also a wuss. Tomb-raider underworld looks horrible in a wii. I then realized that this console wasn't meant for my tastes and gave it a wide berth since then.
Now coming to wii-u, i don't think sony copied anything from it. I mean both sony and microsoft don't care about nintendo anymore coz its not in their playing field and never was.
The touchscreen you say sony copied isn't from wii-u but their own vita.
Sony controller most probably will feature a "Touchpad" rather than a touchscreen. Its just like a pressure sensitive plate that you see in conventional laptops.
Its nothing like a Wii-u. Not even close.
And playstation eye has been around since ps2 i.e much before kinect. But microsoft's technology innovated controller free gaming or atleast took the experience to a different level.
Some more news:
At 57K sold, Wii U's January performance is historically abysmal (lol)
The PS4 Announcement Will Drop PS3 Prices by 64% This is great imo.

First off, sorry about the impromptu post, was really desperate for some forum actionWelcome to TDF mate.
Yeah i would agree that Xbox 360's controller is the best and surpasses the dual shock 3 in terms of ergonomics. But dual shock's design was so perfect since the advent of
PS1 that the same design has been around since 1994.

I personally think that ps controller redesign is a good move, considering that every end of my body is an ergonomics freak.
Now "copied" is a strong word, I'm just saying that it has the facets of controllers from both the companies. I'm aware that PS Eye has been around longer than kinect but to see it being implemented with a motion controller about the same time MS introduced "kinect" a motion sensing camera should raise some eye brows. Then again I'm not accusing sony of "copying" something, no sir!

So this is getting pretty interesting. But there is one thing that we haven't discussed on this thread, that is used games. According to various sources, Sony is going to implement some kind of RFID tech in the PS4 and its game. Then, once you pop in the new disc to your PS4, they will be bonded for life, like twins. What they fail to address is that what will happen if the PS4 breaks and owner decides to get a new one. Then will the old games play? Moreover, according to Gamestop, 60% of the customers won't buy the console which will not play the used games.

one more thing.. the next gen hardware.. since they will have a comparably easier dev cycle due to x86 hardware, can we say that the game prices will be lower??
i thought sony was not going to implement that.. MS is sure to implement it though..
