Wii, Wii U, and Steam Deck (soon Steam Controller) did it that way
N64 wasn't dual analog, so not relevant since it wasn't symmetrical or asymmetrical.
n64 is relevant in any discussion about analog sticks on console controllera
The layout was very very non standard and had a single stick. I’m smoking a lot of weed but I can tell you the n64 controller doesn’t count here.
I said it was first I didn't say it was standard. But being the first it definitionally can't be "nonstandard" since it was the only one at the time!
How many controllers since the N64 have used that layout? The Sega Saturn Fat Controller is a more standard layout than the N64 controller.
I'll just include consoles that came with symmetrical or asymmetrical for simplicity's sake:
Symmetrical:
PS2: 160 million
PS3: 87 million
PS4: 117 million
PS5: 92 million
Wii U: 14 million
Symmetrical total: 470 million
Asymmetrical:
Xbox: 24 million
Xbox 360: 84 million
Xbox One: 58 million
Xbox Series X: 35 million
Gamecube: 21 million
Switch: 155 million
Switch 2: 17 million
Asymmetrical total: 394 million
More people have played on symmetrical controllers than asymmetrical.
hardly any of those are still in production by that logic a regular TV is a crt lol
My bad I didn't realize this was a sport that you were trying to win lol
Why would a single analog stick be relevant in a discussion of whether symmetrical or asymmetrical analog sticks are "regular"?
that's not what the discussion is about
