The funny thing is the N64 stick is digital. And around the time the N64 released, Sony released the Flightstick which had two analog sticks. It was only natural they would use the same technology from the Flightstick in the PS controller. It most likely was the PS success that made the dual analog stick controller the standard in video games. The same way Nintendo made the motion controllers standard with the Wii.
