...translates into, "Shit! I wish we did it first!".  

 

Nintendo probably had the same thought when they saw the PS1 and PS2 hit the market.

I've learn't three thing's in this thread.

1. Many Nintendo fan's seem to always be angry about something, I don't know what, but they are.

2. The amount of arrogance that oozes off a lot of Nintendo fan's in this thread and in other similar one's is just mind blowing, I don't see why they feel like Nintendo's current success is also their own.

3. People don't read the articles posted or ignore them and purposely continue vomiting their hate over everyone.


If nintendo had thought the same about PS1 and PS2 they would not had created such different experiences like Wii and DS, also , what does the PS1 or PS2 had that Nintendo had not (except the use of CDs?) I mean analog control was a N64 first just like rumble , aaaand the shoulder buttons ... Sorry but there is nothing that has become a controller interface standard these days that was not created by nintendo - i mean NOTHING -

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.

Sony didn't introduce the first analog joystick?!  The first one was invented by Baer in 1967. 

Edit: and looking up the references, it seems Sony's analog flightstick was released 2 months before N64, but it was unveiled to the public 3 months after the N64 controller (then called ultra 64, with it's analog thumbstick) was first revealed.
