hmm a button that looks like a + sign must have been very hard to invent so Nintendo probably copied the plus button and called it D-pad.
next came buttons to do things cuz you need buttons to do things as well as move around with the D-pad. before it was a stick and a red button but Nintendo thought this is too sexual. we don't want anyone to stick that thing in the wrong place. So they invented the NES controller with one D-pad and two buttons.
then there was this motion technology that existed and they wanted to make use of it in video games. so they created this power glove and inserted the technology in it and voaila a new innovation or evolution of something used in a different way was born but it failed!
SNES come and they ad two new buttons and a pair of shoulder buttons which are very hard to "invent" lol
then comes the N64 were they add the analogue stick which is basically a joy-stick but Nintendo wanted you to control it with your thumb instead of your hand cus again that would be too sexual. so they shrunk the thing down. they also added the Z button and invented the target system in Zelda. there was an article about how this system came to Miyamoto mind. something to do with samurai's.
not everything Nintendo has in their consoles are inventions of their own just that they are the first to do most of the things out of the big three. there are of course small innovative/inventive companies that never get too show their products to the masses because of low budget. some get bought up and some just die out.
lol this post is way to long now and i got bored so i'm just going to post it as it is. I even forgot where i was going with this :P
time for me to sleep!
PS: Nintendo went the sexual root with the Wii mote! but someone beat/copied them with an even sexualer thing :P
