    I mean, Sony is also guilty of this. The PS1 would never have existed if they didn’t copy the Super Nintendo (they even have nearly the same sound chip, designed by the same person even). Everyone copies everyone else. The Steam Deck is a SteamOS copy of a Switch but better, the Switch is a copy of a GameVice Wikipad but includes a 2015 NVidia Shield tablet.

    If nobody copied anyone else, very little progress or advancement could be made, because everyone would just keep reinventing the wheel.

      The ps1 didnt copy the snes. Nintendo contracted Sony to design a CD attachment for the snes, but then nintendo went to Philips and partnered with the CD-i project. Which pissed off sony and they used their experience and infinite resources to design a new system purely in spite. It just turned out being too good.

      As for using the “same” sound chip. Are we really suprised that a company who owns a circuit chip manufacturer would use their own chips?

      No.1 Why the fuck are you bringing up sony on this, we’re not on reddit, fanboys foff

      No. 2 Sony had a well known (for people with two neurons to rub together) partnership with Nintendo to have their tech (CDs) on Nintendo’s next console, they backstabbed sony and that’s the event that spurred the PlayStation. If you want to call out sony, NEC were the first to bring CDs to console.

      No. 3 You’re probably young and that’s why you are not familiar with EEE. Microsoft’s strategy is literally the same as cancer cells, I don’t know how anyone can defend a corporation like this but, here we are…

      No. 4 Microsoft has a history of copying better build/designed/thought out products with a facsimile electro trash designed to get people to subscribe to one of their cancerous offerings. If you want more details, you’re welcome to hear more about it on your successful Zune player.

        I don’t know who pissed in your cereal this morning, but I hope your day gets better, holy moly. You could probably even impress a Redditor with how rudely this response is written.

          Good, people need to get used to pushback when they say stupid shit. Platforms are full of nazis because we tolerated stupid shit for too long not to be impolite. Nazis sponsored by Microsoft.

              And here we are, mod removed comment showing why we have to suffer idiots on a daily basis.

              edit: nevermind, sh.itjust.works is predominantly us drivel, my failure for associating with the instance. Problem easily solved.
