Hey now, N64 was revolutionary for it's time!

PS1 didn't have analogue until April 1997, and even then it was pathetic compared to N64's. Too many PS1 games started development using the D-Pad, and so that same D-Pad code was used for the analogue controls. This resulted in many games with analogue controls not really having a gradient of input levels. It was all just either on or off, like a D-Pad. 

Four controller ports, and almost all multiplayer games made for four players!

An awesome controller that was comfortable to hold!

Z-Trigger button was innovative and awesome! 

First game console to do Rumble!

First game console to have games that did 3D right. (Ocarina of Time, and Mario 64). 

The N64 expansion pack was the first mid-gen upgrade!

From what I remember the controller itself DS1 had only "digital" logic, it had the 8 positions (on both analogs) but there was no gradient. That came with DS2, and on DS3 they added the analog to the digital (pressure dependent). On DS4 I never noticed a difference from the amount of pressure except on shoulder buttons and triggers.

Right you are! It wasn't until DS2 that Sony had analogue on par with N64. I didn't own a Sony system until 2006, so I didn't know.
