In 1996, Nintendo revolutionized 3-D game control when it introduced the analog stick on the Nintendo 64 controller. Sony quickly copied this innovation for its own controllers. Since the Wii's controller tech is clearly driving its sales, does anyone think that Sony and MS will attempt to copy the Wii's controller design and features for their next consoles (or current consoles)?

Any cross-company discussion should take place in the System Wars forum, sorry. There are more strict rules there to prevent any fanboyism from turning ugly. In the console-specific forums, topics like this typically degenerate into fanboy flamefests.

It's not big deal, just keep this in mind for the future. Thanks!
