Well, if you want to get technical, the N64's stick was digital, while Sony's was true analog.  Also, Sony released rumble the same month Nintendo released the Rumble Pak in Japan.

The N64's analog stick is still analog.  Potentiometers and rotary encoders are both analog.

It's still was based on digital technology.

Regardless, the point is mostly moot as the N64's control stick still allowed for much greater movement then a normal D-Pad.  Plus, I'm also pretty sure they switched over to a potentiometer based stick for the Gamecube and Wii.
