After getting dangerously frustrated with red faction last night I decided to cool off with something else, Don't ask me why i kept it but a free disc was given away with the old playstations called demo one. It's packed with playable demos, videos and other cool things.
I put on the porshe challenge demo and i used to own the full game but didn't have the analog controller at the time. The led came on showing that the sticks were supported and then the left one was your steering and the right one was your accelerator/brake, not as sensitive as the dual shock 2 but it's proves a point that Sony did think up the idea WAY before anyone else.
Porsche challenge is made by SCEE and is almost FIVE years old, dreamcast ain't made yet so they couldn't have ripped off the triggers and come to think of it i don't think Nintendo even had their rumble pack out yet, which is another thing this game used.
Nintendo may have been the first to have a directional analog stick but Sony took it one step further.

Actually, Sony didn't come up with the Walkman first. A small company had the idea a little bit before them but Sony sued them and won (not surprisingly) but that's just the way big companies are...
They made the PlayStation so all is forgiven. Go on Sony! Kill all the small companies you want!

Ant, please be the voice of reason! It doesn't really matter, all companies just develop the next logical stage from the last piece of technology. The PC had analogue joypads with extra analogue buttons for car and flying games for as long as I can remember (early 90's easily).
In the end, it doesn't matter so long as SOMEONE invents things and other people try hard to perfect them.

How do you know?? If Porsche Challenge came out in 95, then Sony must've had the idea way before releasing it, so, naturally, Sony must've thought of it first.
