I'm guessing you're just pulling those excuses out of thin air--unless you have sources?
Here is a simple fact: Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony all use dual analog, not c-buttons. Simple as that. You can down-play that with all the invented speculation you want but it's still true. The c-button design failed to catch on and became a footnote. It's not even like it matters, of course, since it's a different technology. That you differentiate button placement but do not credit the difference between buttons and analog sticks shows your true intentions here.
If c-buttons were as good, Nintendo would still be using them instead of switching to dual analog.
As for the point of contention, my original reply to you was to call you out for your hypocrisy and double standard where you claimed "more of the same" cannot be revolutionary while citing "more of the same" as revolutionary.
Let's be perfectly honest what this is about. You want to down-play anything from Sony while painting anything from Nintendo as important--even when history and your own words ("more of the same") sound hypocritical. Reverse these features and I have zero doubt that your position would flip flop.
Now, I'm sure you're going to go back to the pedantic well with "evolutionary vs. revolutionary" because it's your last bastion but, really, most people don't care. All that matters is the overall impact on gaming. That you keep trying to pretend dual analog isn't important to modern gaming only makes you seem bitter.

I am saying that dual analog is an evolution of the N64 setup that had a stick and C-buttons. You have had plenty of opportunities to state how dual analog was revolutionary (that was your original claim in response to someone else) and changed the way games were played. You have yet to mention a single game.

The dual analog controller, which was first shown to the public in November of 1996, was an evolution of the button scheme of the N64? Seriously? Even if you're really stuck on the "evolution" route, that makes no sense. Why?
Revealed in August of 1995:
Dual analog pre-dates the c-button scheme. The idea that it evolved from the N64 controller is laughable.
As far as listing games that use dual analog ... uh. I honestly don't know what to say to that. There are literally thousands of games that use it. Halo? Far Cry? Devil May Cry? Bayonetta? Seriously, throw a stick.
