Controllers today would be massively different if there was no N64 controller, that gave both Sega and Sony a kick in the ass to start looking at rumble and analog, glossing over that is crazy. 

"If the first person to do something didn't do it no one else ever would have" is such a flawed take.

If Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison both died at birth we'd still have phones today.

There's absolutely no guarantee of that at all actually. 

There is no "guiding force" that just guarantees telephones would have been invented and adopted in the same way at all, society could be very different. You could have something very different. 

You can't just remove "cause" from "cause & effect" and expect everything to work out the exact same.
