    And the second part was addressing when you mentioned linking PS consoles as being revolutionary.

    No problem. I'm going to leave this before we both get to snarky over misunderstandings! :)

    You tried to make the point that Sony had to go back to a redesign for the controller because Ninty brought one out on their controller. The Coleco Vision Had a thumbstick in the early 80s (the truly ground braking console that ninty emulated for the Nes... just go and check out the hardware add on's for the time) .

    So you're saying that over year after the Nintendo 64 was released with an analogue stick controller, Sony coincidentally decided to go and copy the Colecovision thumb stick and upgrade it to be analogue? It seems a little more far fetched than just saying Sony saw analogue sticks worked really well in 3D games and upgraded their controller to do the same.

    But I never said there was anything revolutionary about the N64. You said Sony were years ahead of Nintendo at the time, so I posed the question, if they were so far ahead then why did they only add analogue sticks (a fundamental part of 3D console gaming) after Nintendo did it?
