Sony did not introduce dual analog or dual shoulder buttons or handles. Genesis 3 button controllers had handles and the other controller I posted a picture of in 1989 had them plus 4 shoulder buttons and two analog sticks. Already posted in this thread what did do that. Ouya had a trackpad just before PS4 and both were a response to Wii U touch screen much like Sixaxis was a quick response to Wii. Agree on share button. While Wii U could take screenshots it was a clunky way by browsing image hosting sites and caputing it that way. Any other console that had capture ability was a specialized console like the Sharp Famicom or the SEGA Wondermega and such. Even then was a big process. |
Yeah I never said strictly they were first to for dual analogue but they introduced it to the masses and popularized it. Like a lot of innovative products, its putting good existing ideas into their own own, iterating on it and improving in other aspects. Like Apple products.. a lot of the time they're not the first when it comes bringing new feature sets. But when they do, people think they are because of w well designed they are. As for the that Genesis controller.. is closer to flat controllers we had during the 80's and 90's and not quite like handles we have in the PS1 or modern controllers - think we had this discussion before a little while ago :P
