It didn't win and didn't deserve to win. It started the trend of Nintendo systems with strange gimmicks. It's where Nintendo lost it's way in the home market, so i definitly wouldn't call it anywhere near a winner. It was the first of the losers.

D-pad was considered wierd and unusal when it came out on Famicom/NES. NES also came with a Power Pad,Zapper and a Robot. Game & Watch in 1981 had 2 screens. So not it did not start with N64. Nintendo has ALWAYS been this way. SNES added shoulder buttons that became standard. I was just playing tearaway Unfolded today on PS4 and uses a lot of motion control. Wo what Wii did is now standard in systems. PS4 has a touchpad. Vita touch screen and a touch back. Every Nintendo handheld since DS with touch screen ability. Nintendo has always done this and most the time becomes a common feature in handhelds/consoles.

Welll yeah, from that pov the SNES was the exception, indeed.
