Not really since today's controllers with the exception of the Wii are gamepads, like the nes, and the Atari 2600 used a Joystick while the Intellivision used a keypad.
You see this in the timeline, when the NES is something new and not evolving off of either the systems you mentioned. Most consoles today except the Wii use a gamepad. The wii could end up being just like the NES where most of everything after that is an evolution of the Wiimote, until the next revolution.
