I like the PS3, but this is ••••••••.

Chaoszero has a point

Nintendo had extra peripherals waaaaaay before the Wii. Anybody else remember the gun thing from Duck Hunt? Sony's saying that the Wii is based off of their inventions is a load of cow plop.

What a load of crap.

Two words BULL ••••! There is NO way is true in anyway. He's a hypocrite that's what.

Really?? Note: He's former head of Sony Europe... what a blowhard...

Dang, how could Sony say that...

BTW. Nice Article, Budge.

You can really see why he's the 'former' President and CEO of SCEE with comments like that.

However, he's completely right. While saying the Wii 'owes' it's success to the PS brand is definitely not the right way to phrase it, the Xbox 360 and the Wii, and even more so the Gamecube and the Xbox, wouldn't be what they are were it not for the PS.

It's the other way around as well though, while everything I said above is true, the PS wouldn't be what it was without the N64, the Dreamcast, everything. Everyone takes other's ideas and adds on to them. Really, every console owes it's success to the Atari, do they not? PSN wouldn't be what it is if Xbox Live hadn't happened, the Xbox wouldn't have happened at all had PS never been invented, etc, etc, etc.

All that said, Chris Deering is a ••••.
