"The pad isn't even a screen though? So it really isn't all the same except that they are touch.(Everyone loves touches shit nowadays, so Sony went with the trend"

Hipsters...

nah, actually I can read a lot of positive spin towards sony in your posts. I don't specially like any of these companies, just stating the facts.

yah, it's no screen, true, but as that would completely destroy their traditional controller design they couldn't go so far (remember the shitstorm over the ps3 prototype gamepad?). So they took the touch stuff, added in the kinect/cam part and voilá.

I've never stated for Nintendo not to borrow ideas either. That's what I meant with sharing similarities. I don't accuse anybody of copying for using an analog stick or shoulder buttons anymore, because that's the default nowadays. But touch/cam/motion stuff just got recently introduced and you state yourself that Sony uses this stuff then after surfacing.
The problem there is just that while Nintendo goes all-in with their new concepts, Sony only takes some aspects that then are not even used too often in actual games (again as an example: motion in sixaxis).

You can't really accuse Nintendo of copying having a 'real controller'. They've had one in the past, they even created pretty much all of it's aspects still used today.
Yes they've taken the 2 shoulder buttons, but they introduced them in the first place as well. Sony enhanced on this idea by putting 2 instead of 1. M$ enhanced by using 1 analog and 1 digital. That now became standard across many gamepads.
The layout of their Pro controller is indeed very alike to 360 (with few exceptions). Shows to me more that M$ just hit pretty much the best ergonomic design with it, without much left to improve.

Still I've giving half a dozen examples, where Nintendo introduced new aspects for gamepads, that have been taken over by other companies. Quite a few more than they've copied themself. With the last motion hype and the now following touch/screen hype, they are again leading there (and I say that again without actual judgment if that's a good or bad thing. Though looking at the enormous amount of casualization motion/kincet/touchpads/mobilephones deliver to the gaming market and considering myself a 'core' gamer, I guess it's not so good for those games I'd rather prefer to see....)

I certainly can and done so quite a few times.
