If you do read carefully.... it doesn't matter how they explain it from Everything2.com to Howstuffworks...... My point was reached in both sites. They are totally different in design. Using Photocell's and LED's the N64 does, and using two Potentiometers the DualShock2 does.
Yes it matters. everything2.com was wrong. The n64 is not a 12-way joystick, it's a real analog stick.

The desings of the N64 and DS are not completely different. Only the technology that detects the movement of the X and Y axis is different, but the rest of the designs are very similar.

In essence, you just totally proved me right by providing those sites. Btw... DualShock was for PSX too, so you can also compare old gen with old gen with DualShock and N64 controller..... of course both using totally different methods of output.

You just chose to compare old gen to this gen. But DualShock, and DualShock 2 are the same controllers..... only difference is Pressure Sensitivity.
No I proved you wrong. You said that the n64 was not analog and it is.
