		thatmariolover, give it a rest.  you're trying to squeeze blood out of a rock at this point. 
this kinda thing happens in business all the time, and it doesnt make it wrong.  it's the reason why very few markets are monopolized.  which is GOOD for business.  nobody is breaking any copyright laws...it's not stagnant or wrong, you're just trying to pull an arguement out of your rear.
 
and I was surprised Crash would make a thread out of this garbage...really, I am

		I have a Gamecube, a PS2, an Xbox, and a computer. I'll hug them all, equally thank you. 
I am bent out of shape, but don't take everything I post 100% seriously. That picture was supposed to be more funny then serious.     
And thatmariolover is way off base.

		Oh brother.....Nintendo is secretive because they think it's good for the suspense and hype of the Revolution..... because they think that if people don't know much about the system it will leave them in suspense... which is at some times a good thing. 
 
Sony didn't steal anything from Microsoft and Microsoft hasn't stolen anything from Nintendo.  Internet has been a gateway for people to connect for many years now.  It's an idea that is being expanded upon for next-gen gaming within Microsoft's and Sony's camp.  It's not thievery to expand on what is already a good online gaming plan. 
 
And Microsoft stealing Nintendo's idea of a handle?  If I'm not mistaken, the handle was invented way way back.  So only a fanboy would think that Nintendo created the handle concept.  And yes, even if you own all three systems you CAN and WILL have a favorite. 
 
Simply put, ideas will either be fabricated, collaborated, or copied.  In the end, the competition makes better business.  But the simple fact that the Online Gaming was stolen from Microsoft is complete bull.  The simple fact that Microsoft stole the handle from Nintendo is complete bull. 
 
Online gaming made it's presence with Dreamcast, and that  was the first online gaming community.  Handles were here before the GameCube, and ideas were copied and ellaborated on for many centuries.  Now.... stop this useless bantering... because it only creates a static atmosphere of favoritism.
