Regarding single analog controller, PlayStation 1 had Namco's NeGcon back in 1995, which was supported by many racing games of the time like Ridge Racer, Wipeout, Gran Turismo or Destruction Derby. Or way before it, in the 70s there were consoles like Prinztronic / Acetronic / Interton with a single analog controller, or in the early 80s Vectex or Atari 5200.
In the 80s when Sony started to publish their first videogames for the MSX they also released several controllers. One of them, the Sony JS-303T, featured a thumbstick with analog positions but a digital input. Sony also released a wireless controller back in 1984, the Sony JS-75.
In 1997 Sony also released the Dual Analog Controller, months before releasing the DualShock. It basically was the same than the DualShock but without rumble, and was first shown in the PlayStation Expo 96–97 back in November 1996.
