This thread has degenerated into "Who's copying who?" Not specific to functionality, that is why I threw out this example.

If you believe that extension is nothing different, then... you should also believe that the joystick is no different than an analog stick or a Directional pad. As they are all for the purpose of controlling the direction. Ohh... and Sega Dreamcast controllers has some nice hand grips, which they look nuttin like PS1. Somehow Nintendo's N64 has so much similarity.

Btw, the 6-buttons can never be evolved from 4 button PS controllers, coz Sega was the first to have 6 frontal buttons on their controller for their Genesis.
