Leaker here is Brad Lynch, who generally seems reliable as a leaker for Valve software and products. He was also the source for the leaked renders of the steam controller.

      1. Wii, Wii U, and Steam Deck (soon Steam Controller) did it that way

      2. N64 wasn’t dual analog, so not relevant since it wasn’t symmetrical or asymmetrical.

          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 I’m curious how something that’s literally the only one of it’s kind at the time of release was nonstandard lol

          Why would a single analog stick be relevant in a discussion of whether symmetrical or asymmetrical analog sticks are “regular”?

          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.
