	Power and wisdom seem to be WAY better than courage. It seems like Nintendo was running out of ideas even back then.

At any rate, I love it when people throw around the idea that X has copied Y as far as fundamental things such as... including a D-pad is concerned. It's like saying that the Audi TT copied the Ford Capri because both use round wheels...

Those two obvious blunders make me question the integrety of the whole thing. What they steal the clickable analog sticks from? The XBox 360?

	next rank is...: -> 2693 posts 360 > PS3 > Nothing >>>>>>>> Wii people who understand the above: 2 [PM me if you know what it means]

Also, feel free to brush up on your console history. You might just find out that the big companies have always simply done what everyone else was doing, only they did it better for a variety of reasons.
