| Bamboleo said: @ weretikken That technical explanation sure is a fine spin to describe what is not quite an analog controller and more of a primitively-evolved directional stick. I see we're not getting to an agreement here. I just accept your opinion but I'll stick with mine, and thanks for posting anyway, your posts while not agreeing with mine are very polite and informative. Exactly the opposite as some users around. |
I won't keep harping on this, as the original post was about a different issue. But a technical explanation is not a "spin".
The definition of what is an analog input and an analog stick are not opinions. They are technical definitions.
And the 5200 controller was an analog stick, because there's no middle land between analog and digital. Either you're analogic or you're not. And according to wikipedia so were other console controllers, one of them by Sony, predating the N64 one. And even home computers used analog controllers for gaming in the same time frame.
You can stick to your opinion, just as you can stick to your opinion that the moon is made of cheese. Not all opinions are equally relevant or factually substantiated, though. And not agreeing with factual data makes little sense.
