Your misunderstanding yet again.... Sony's controller using an Analog Stick which has 360 degrees of motion.
Nintendo's N64/Gamecube Joystick is an 8-way joystick with 12 points of motion.
The two sticks are entirely different so, Sony didn't copy any type of stick from Nintendo.
You can feel it in the gameplay of the two.
The Analog Stick on both Sony's and Microsoft controllers both go around 360 degrees.
The Joystick has 8 way action wiith 12 points of motion. It's not the same thing as the ANALOG.
The joystick is
1 Up,
2 Up up Right,
3Up right,
4Right,
5Down Right,
6Down Down Right,
7Down,
8Down Down Left,
9Down Left,
10Left,
11Up Left,
12Up up Left.
According to Everything2.com, The Joystick and Analog stick are totally different devices.
Joystick having 12, Analog having no points of motion but degrees, which is 360.
