In an interview with Der Speigel, Sony Worldwide Studios boss Phil Harrison has struck out at the criticism of Sony's PS3 controller revolution.
The interview was in German, so translation has lost a bit, but speaking about the "Sony copied Nintendo" stories, Phil stated "In a certain way, I understand why people would say that, but it's stupid, if you'll forgive me saying so." Confirming that the controller wasn't just a last minute botch job, Harrison stated that Sony have "worked on it for a long time" and that "It's perfectly natural for two companies to work on nearly identical devices. It's like that with technology."
