Hmmm...
The first console joystick was on the Atari 5200. Sony introduced the first analogue joystick for their system in 1995, it was only compatible with a short list of game's, that design was then revised for the dualshock. Nintendo introduced their analogue stick in 1996 with the Nintendo 64.
Wireless controller's we're introduced by the Atari Wireless RF controller, Nintendo didn't release a wireless controller until 2002, year's after Atari had already stopped making consoles.
Touch screen technology on a console was introduced by Tiger in 1997 on their Game.com console. The DS was released in 2004.
The Balance Board was introduced in 1984 as the Joyboard by Amiga for the Atar 2600. The Wii Balance Board was introduced in 2007.
Those are some examples of how Nintendo took ideas from older consoles and used it themselves year's later. Your last statement was pretty insulting to those innovative companies.
Nintendo are a great company who have done great thing's for the industry, they aren't the beginning and the end of the industry though. There are hundred's of thing's they didn't invent from new soundchips to online networking in gaming. Please get your head out of your ass and accept that your bias is extremely annoying.

Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.
