I agree that the technology proceeds through improvements over time and that the devices are continuously refined.

But the point here is not to be a fan of one producer or another. For example, I like Sony as much as Nintendo, I think my absolute favorite console of all times is the first Playstation.

But when we talk about those who brought innovation first, in the gaming console field, and specifically on the controllers, I don't think there is much to say about giving credit to Nintendo.

No doubt about that. After all, the NES was released 11 years before the PS.

But there's no reason to ignore all the great inventions by e.g. Mattel and Atari that came before Nintendo.
