OH WOW!!! I forgot, original PS1 controllers had no analog sticks!
That settles it, everyone copies Nintendo. However not everything is copied.
MS introduced achievements, a home button, and basically introduced online play onto consoles. They also made Kinect.
Sony introduced less, all I can think of is the built in battery pack to controllers, Eyetoy (but one can argue that's a copy of Gameboy Camera), and that's about it. Maybe Analog sticks for handhelds?
Nintendo leads with innovation, simple.
I just hope they introduce some form of achievement/trophy system with the Wii U. They are addictive, and I like completing my favorite games. Completing a Zelda would be a very daunting task, but I've done it for Ocarina of Time.
