Controller being a mistake is absolute nonsense. You wouldn't even HAVE a Dual Analog later Dual Shock without the N64 controller. Are you saying camera buttons and truly functioning analog sticks and rumble technology were mistakes??? That controller was one of their most influential controllers outside of the original NES one!
I did not say the controller wasn't influential, but the controller's design sucked. A tripod grip was stupid, it didn't have a good analog stick, and the button configuration wasn't the best. Also, when has rumble ever been a good game feature? Very rarely. But that's just me.
Sony was the first company to have 2 analog sticks. The Dual Shock design is still one of the best ever. "The DualShock controller was given an Emmy Award for "Peripheral Development and Technological Impact of Video Game Controllers" by The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences on January 8, 2007."
