No, the Atari 5200 joystick used a pair of potentiometers to have analog functionality.
And the Atari 2600's paddle and driving controllers were analog, technically...
Just my 2 cents.

We also saw the death of arcades (believe me they are dead and DDR at the local movie theater doesn't count).
As far as I can remember the N64 came out with an analog stick the PSX did not. The analog controllers came out very quickly to compete with the N64 analog. Soon after that the Dual Shock was released (I still have a sony analog controller that has not vibration function...I bought it with ape escape).Someone was having this argument before, what system had analog stick first
Online gaming becoming popular. I know there was online gaming as far back as Genesis/SNES. However no one can say that the Dreamcast and Xbox didnt bring it to the masses in a great way.
Home Theater package. Yeah the PSX and Saturn could play VCDs but required a card. The Xbox (I know DVD playback pak) and PS2 could run DVDs without any addons for that function.

Can't forget about that Phantom console, if it's real or not I still don't know.

In my book, "digital" is either on or off, "analog" is variable.
For example, analog music recordings (LPs, 45's, 78's...) use varying mounts of energy to make sounds, whereas digital systems use sequences on 1's and 0's to reproduce sound.
And the "analog sticks" on your 128-bit system controllers are nothing more than a pair of potentiometers connected through a series of levers to a stick.
