Evolution of Game Controllers

Damien Lopez has created an infographic on the evolution of game controllers. I've used all but two of these, second ColecoVision and Sega CD. I'd feel a little more nostalgic if I wasn't a game player today.

Damien's graphic depicts incremental improvements and from what I can see,
two innovations; the NES controller which switched from a stick to a directional pad and the Wii Mote which moved the controller from your fingers to your arms. Sony's PS2 controller was a vast improvement which game users even more control in a game, but it was still an improvement from the original NES controller.
