N64 - dual Analog
Rumble pak - dual shock
N64 gamepad had a single analog stick, not two like the dual shock.
Single analogs predate Sony, but Sony already made controllers with a single analog in the 80s for their MSX computers, some even wireless:
The dualshock wasn't an addon, it was integrated in the gamepad. And instead of having a single rumble motor it had two: left and right, which allowed them to make more rumble effects.
Smash bros - ps all stars
Mario kart - CTR
Yes.
Yep, but PS2 (like Dreamcast and others before) already has a MP online platform even if required an addon and wasn't that full featured.
The very successful Eyetoy predated Wii. And the first Eyetoy prototype publicly shown featured a rough prototype of the PS Move.
And well, Wii was a ripoff of the unknown Xavix Console.
That PC (not console) gamepad had motion in 2 axis, and wasn't the first one to do it. Six Axis had 3 axis of motion and 3 axis of rotation.
Yes
They are good at many things And certainly better than Xbox at releasing console games . Innovators though?
