recheck your history. dualshock did not come from n64 inspiration. Dualshock was actually explained and demonstrated and patented before the n64 controller. N64 controller just came out first. Well, people praise Nintendo all the time for showing things one or two months before release. Guess they should've shown their controller earlier.

EDIT: not going to bother with a link. You can easily google it.

I highly doubt what you are saying. Between the first PS1 controller and the Dualshock there was another official one which featured analog sticks, but no rumble.

The reason why you aren't going to bother with a link is either because no such thing exists or because it can be easily proven to be incorrect.

Rol, you are great at spotting technicalities aren't you lol.

I should then make a correction. "The Dual Analog was not born from N64 inspiration." The rumble may have been....because there was about a year in between the two.. so, technically, the complete dualshock did come, in part, from the n64 rumble pack. However, and I quote "adding TWO analog sticks...", Maxwell was implying that the dual analog AND rumble were ripped off from Nintendo. In that argument, he is wrong. But yes, Sony probably ripped off rumble.
