Are we actually argueing about this?! Analog sticks were a simple way of including the single joystick onto a pad system, if some of you remember joysticks were the way games were played before pads became the norm all these companys did was shrink it down and stick it on a pad
motion controls were used in other fields before they came to consoles (this pre-dates Nintendo and Sony research by along way)
when it comes to shoulder buttons it was just a comfy way of getting more buttons on a pad in a reachable area and i'm amazed some of you even bought that up it's not innovation
Even if these companys were inventing tech for there consoles they can't all come out with different wacky ideas because they'd all be non-starters to copy and idea is not theft but flattery why is there this constant need to reinvent the wheel everytime!
This is a mindless arguement and it was always going to end up in a flame war sometimes we all need to step back and stop blindly defending these companys if any of them were to not exist the gaming world would be at a huge loss
