Did Sony copy Microsoft on a couple of things?

I've been wondering a few things. Since Microsoftreleased their 360 far earlier than the PS3, would it be safe to say they copied them on a few things? One would be trophies. Of course everyone knows how popular the achievements were on the 360, so now Sony implemented trophies to give gamers a sense of accomplishment, which also evens the odds for consumers who own both systems, and would usually pick up the 360 version simply because of achievements. My second inquiry, would be the fact that the Xbox 360 has a button in the middle,which is used to pull up the dashboard,turn off the system, turn off the controller, etc.. Now Sony's button is placed in the center also, and serves the same purpose. The reason I bring this up is the fact that a lot of PS3 fanboys always seem to bash Microsoft, saying they copied Nintendo with the Avatars and such, but Sony looks to be guilty ofcopyingas well.I know they are minor likenesses, butIt seems like all game companies take successful ideas from other companies, notjust the big M.
