Another original Sony move

Look. I'm fine with taking an idea. But Sony takes it to the next level. First, they rarely make an innovative move themselves. Next, they bash Nintendo for trying to be innovative. It always seems to be Nintendo, which is just beyond ridiculous. Then they take that idea and reskin it as their own, saying how their idea is much better. That is what ticks me off.

This is slightly outdated, but I think you may want to take a peek at it, anyway.

Citation, please?
 
Citation for the bashing? I could find a bunch. I'll post them when I have time later...

I agree with you on that, I didn't have anything to back it up though, since I'm lazy and couldn't be bothered finding stuff like you did. Those Links kinda prove your point though.
 
And this is only from the past year, I haven't been paying attention the past few years.

“I like to see healthy competition between Nintendo’s system and ours because it helps innovation. It’s always a good thing to have.”

Well, at least he's more humble than Jack Tretton (but then again, he's Japanese.) I'm definitely not going to deny that The circle pad and price drop was definitely because of the Vita (though it would also be because of the fact that it didn't sell well.)

Companies bash other companies all the time; you should've seen what Gabe Newell said about Sony a few years ago, and what he's saying about Microsoft now. The 3DS was undeniably rushed and has a tremendous amount of design flaws, so you can't fault people for pointing this out. Also, Sony's stuff generally does work better than Nintendo's, so they're not wrong.

I can sort of understand being a bit frustrated about the whole ordeal, but you really are exaggerating and making an unnecessarily huge deal of this.
 
Bashing the system is okay as long as it's reasonable. Sony called the "GameBoy Genation" a babysitting tool and that 20-somethings who play them don't have any dignity.
Not only did he unreasonably bash Nintendo there, he just insulted a good amount of our population.

Jack Tretton =/= Sony as a whole
 
Oh no, I've stated before that I really only hate Jack Tretton. Song as a whole doesn't usually tick me off.
 
You... have attacked Sony as a whole plenty of times before. But if it's just Jack Tretton you hate, then we have more in common than I thought.
