No other well known brand uses the DS analog stick layout. Only playstation. To make matters worse the DS1 is basically a SNES controller and later added 2 N64 analog sticks and the N64 Rumble Pack. I think you see the trend here.

BUT NO OTHER BRAND USES TWO ANALOGS IN CONJUNCTION WITH ONE ANOTHER, RIGHT? NO ONE ELSE THOUGHT TO USE TWO ANALOGS AFTER SONY DID. EVERY OTHER CONSOLE STILL PLAYS SOUTHPAW, RIGHT?

 

Sorry for the caps, but I'm going to capitalize points you refuse to read. Just because other companies use asymmetrical stick positioning doesn't mean it wasn't inspired by Sony's original use of two sticks at the same time.

The configuration was fairly new at the time. But it's a little redundant defending Sony because they added a second analog. It's was a unique configuration, but calling the Dual Shock revolutionary, is a bit of a stretch...I hope you can see that..
