It's interest to know PSX dual analog controller came first than N64's standard. Perhaps I was living into an alternative reality all this time and wasn't aware, lol.Which controller is still in the golden standard for today.
This one (PSX)
or
This one (N64)
You don't know anything about gaming.
I literally had all consoles, and a huge library of games growing up.
My experience in game is muich greater than your limited one.

The N64 losing ground to gaming growing up, hurt Nintendo leading into the GameCube.
I will admit, making the GameCube purple was a mistake (should have been black).
But make no mistake, the N64 was the era where gaming was beginning to mature and the audience moved to Sony.
Microsoft releasing the Xbox with Halo was also grabbed a lot of N64 players looking to move on from Nintendo's, kiddy image at the time.

lol, no worries man.
The N64 was a good console, I'm not in any way trying to say it sucked.

It's a hybrid of the two
Would Sony have developed Dual Shock if N64's controller didn't exist?

Well, I didn't like Nintendo at all under Iwata's direction. He abandoned the first division and competed on equal terms with Sony and Xbox with the GameCube to go on to look for casual games with the Wii and WiiU. As a person, it's clear that he was a good guy.

Yes, because the industry knew at the time the N64's solution was not a definitive solution but more of a "means to an end", at the time.
Analog sticks existed much longer before the N64 even existed btw.

He's the gaming god, don't try to question his knowledge because it's heresy.

Pushed gaming forward light-years ahead of anything on the N64.
People who PC gamed at the time literally laughed at people that thought, Perfect Dark or Goldenere were actually "good".
This was the first game that told the industry, FPS can be actuallly "work" on consoles.

Sony actually had the Dual Analog controller quite a way before the Dual Shock. This controller was announced around the time the N64 was released. So it was probably in development for a while.
The Dual Analog actually had concave sticks, which Sony went back to with DS4 onwards.

It plays PS2/1 games but it doesn't accept PS2/1 memory cards or DS2/1 plugs and you can't boot right into games.
PS has a Japan-only PSX (PS2) console that's more in line with what the PS3 should have been.
Unlike the PS3 it keeps everything from the PS2/1 consoles while adding the PS3's XMB and a host of other features.

It's an inconvenience and the PS3's PS2 emulator is already setup to use PC style saves via virtual memory cards.
Getting rid of the PlayStation UI/UX from PS1/2 was a massive mistake that hasn't been corrected.
Lining up the PS1/2/3/4/5 side by side it's clear that Sony's PlayStation family has two distinct eras.
PS1/2 as true "PlayStation" Game Machines and PS3/4/5 as Entertainment Computers that play games.
