Single analog was the breakthrough that enabled dual analog though; establishing the feature itself laid the groundwork, and that came from Nintendo.

They are both similar because analog sticks existed way before N64. Of course nintendo came and put in  major console but sony's implementation still working till this day with the dual analogs.   

I never said they invented it, technically it dates back all the way to the 2nd generation, but it just didn't take root until the N64 showed how big of a revolution it could be; dual analog then took the next evolutionary step. I'd simply say that establishing a technology is a bigger step than iterating on it.
