First to popularize.... ugh whatever.
Avatar invented movies because it has the highest sales of any movie.
Nintendo didn't start everything. The dualshock and dual analog are miniature versions of the analog joystick which was announced in 95. Not only that, but dual analog control is credited which revolutionizing gaming. So, don't try to take that away from Sony. Nintendo is credited for so many revolutionary ideas, you'd think the fans would be satisfied with boasting over those things.
EDIT: actually, just take it. I don't care anymore.
