You have that backwards. We know 100% in mainstream consoles, Nintendo did analog first, rumble first, Dremcast had analog triggers first. Sony copied all of those things and was not first to any of them. No one can dispute that really. YOU would have to prove that somehow in a parallel timeline Sony would've incorporated those things into their controller magically some how unprompted if Nintendo or Sega didn't do it first with nothing to copy it from. I doubt that would have happened. You can't remove cause from cause & effect and expect the effect to be the same. |
With all due respect, what you said doesn't make sense...
I can only speak about my reality, the reality I know, the reality that operates with facts:
Fact: Nintendo pioneered a single digital thumbstick design, similar to a "tracker ball," for the N64. The design was flawed and was abandoned; it was never used again in the industry.
Fact: Sony implemented a design with two thumbsticks with potentiometers. The design was a success, subsequently replicated throughout the industry for about 30 years and still counting. Even copied by Nintendo.
Fact: Nintendo created an accessory called the Rumble Pack, a type of "vibrating cartridge." This design is not used in modern consoles.
Facts: PlayStation was the first to implement internal motors in its controllers. These motors became a reference and a standard for the industry. Said desing, again, copied by Nintendo.
Is there any untruthfulness in these facts?
Based on the facts, who influenced the industry more?
A) Sony, which developed designs that became the standard for about 30 years and still counting?
B) Nintendo, whose designs were entirely discarded, and which adopted the designs created by Sony?
