The Wii has a motion sensor.

The Nintendo 64 was the first modern console to reintroduce the analog stick.

There's a history of analog sticks over at Wiki.

analogue buttons?
surely by definition you're either pressing the button or not.
that means digital in my book.

They are indeed analogue buttons.

They're not just on or off.. if you're playing a racing game, using the X button for accelerate, if you lightly press it, you get a few revs, and the harder you press it, the faster you go.

That's a load of rubbish. Pretty sure the PS3 is actually doing better than the 360 in Japan. It's way too soon to count the PS3 out. At the moment there's not really many good games for it, but give it a few months and there will probably be loads. Just the name Final Fantasy is bound to shift a considerable number of consoles.

I never considered them truly analogue as there was so little play in the buttons, not like you would be using them for delicate throttle control :p

As far as the majority of games and gamers are concerned, they are just normal digital buttons.

help a n00b out here please.
how can they be relatively analogue? surely they are either digital OR analogue and if they are indeed the latter then isn't it bad design giving the buttons so little travel that they can only be used as a digital (on/off) input?

Well, I'm not sure how I'd describe them either.

They're definitely not digital, but they don't have as much "play" as you may expect from an analogue controller, like a joystick, or the shoulder buttons... but somewhere in the middle for sure ;)

I remember using racing games, and easing off on the throttle, going into a bend, before gently squeezing the button again to get going.

So yeah, I guess they must be analogue buttons. When you get used to the idea, you can use them to accelerate, though now on the PS3, I use the shoulder buttons instead. Speaking of which though, if you load F1 or RR7 on the PS3, configured to use the X button, before you actually start the race, you can sit there revving.. and the harder you press the X, the harder you press on the throttle.

Nope. The Xbox has analogue buttons as well. The PS2 ones were better though IMO and surprisingly easy to use for throttle control in the GT games. Still not as good as analogue triggers of course.
