I think that Nintendo are the best at being original in there hardware as well as their software! The rumble pak is a great idea, every console copied that ASAP! Then theirs the Gameboy camera (new colour for GB advance & old black and White for GBC). And is there any company that can come up to the standard of their controlers? Yea sure everyone goes that looks silly, (new GC controler)it looks like something from fisher-price. The same thing was said abt the N64 controler but no-one is moanin about it now that they know wot is really like! That enough about the hardware now for the software. They are great at making something new, sure not everything works, but everyone has that problem! The standard of games is always fairly high, even though some people belive that they are all aimed at 'kids'! If this were true we wouldnt have 18 rated games such as Perfect Dark, Conker's Bad Fur Day & Turok!

That's a bit of a tall story...

They basically turned the yellow C-Buttons on the N64 into a stick.

Although it's remarkably like the PS2's analogue set up, I think that they would've done it anyway.
It wasn't an innovation - it was just doing the obvious.

As for Analogue sticks, they didn't invent them, but was the first to use them in such a way that left the D-Pad almost redundant.

The chances of you owning a cabinet not high enough for the PS2 are very slim.

Actually, the PS2 has smaller floor area than the GC, so it would require less space...

...like I care.

Does it really matter who thought of the idea first, who gives a toss, next argument were gonna be having is "oh my consoles bigger than yours".
