This article tries to make it seem like the Playstation controller (dual shock) came before the N64 controller. No mention of the PSX's Super Nes clone. The N64 controller offered a microphone, analog, and rumble. The "C" buttons were the precursor to dual analog. It was awkward, I admit, but the N64 was the "missing link" between then and now.

one single analog thumb stick and a add-on for rumble for the N64 (what microphone was used for the N64?); Sony's "revision" of the first sony controller now dubbed "dual shock" had two thumb sticks and built in rumble technology.  Obviously looking at both layouts you can tell that sony's layout was far superior to that of the N64 during that generation.  But nintendo did have the rumble before everybodyon consoles (PC had all kinds of tactile feedback options, but of course we are talking about consoles).

The point is that Nintendo did it and Sony copied it.  If Sony copied it and improved it, good for them.  The C buttons were for camera control which is exactly what the right analog is used for.
