Ok, let me restate myself.

Nintendo was the first company to use analouge sticks on console games.

Again, the Atari 2600 had an analog controller.

The Atari 2600 came out in 1977.

So unless you are going to try to convince me the N64 came out before 1977, or the 2600 wasnt a console, you are wrong.

Atari learned their lesson after their first colossal platform failure.

Your misguided opinion.

Atari always sucked.

Nintendo always rocked.

But this is not FC and I'm NOT argueing with you.

g0zen was being TEH sarcastic.

It was actually the Atari 5200 that had the first home gaming analogue - yes!! Beat Neozeed to it.

The touchscreen and analogue stick shouldn't be seen as...uh...analogous. Mario 64 DS proved the touchscreen wasn't an great substitute for it. I'm sure you could put together a better scheme than that which would work, but in general the screen & stick do different things.

I love seeing topics being derailed in one form or another to what seems to the be the one of a few of the same arguements in every single thread on TNL.
I think I'll start making a game of it, click on threads more than two pages and saying, "This one is about Nintendo sucking!" or "This one has people creaming their pants for the 360!" or maybe even "This thread is about how much EA sucks!"
Has anyone else begun looking at 3 or more page threads and decided that they are not going to click because at the end it's never going to be about whatever topic was originally posted?
