Can we merge joystick with controller?
IMO they're basically the same thing and controller has the larger quantity of questions on it.

Isn't a joystick a specific controller only available for PC? When someone says controller I think of a controller for an Xbox, PS or Nintendo console (or their PC equivalents) not a joystick/flightstick.– AssileCommented Aug 4, 2012 at 17:19

2Many older consoles also had a joystick either as the primary controller (early Atari consoles) or an optional addon (NES, SNES, N64, any Sega...) Analogue sticks are basically a modern interpretation of Joysticks anyway :)– user27134Commented Aug 4, 2012 at 17:32

Ah, ok, I'm a little too young to remember those consoles. In that case merging would be a better idea indeed.– AssileCommented Aug 4, 2012 at 17:39

While it is not that big of a deal joining these tags, "joysticks" are still used for certain kinds of genres. All current consoles still have joysticks in form or fight-sticks, arcade-sticks or arcade-controllers. You will hear all three expressions, depending on whom you ask. They are mainly used for beat em up or fighting games. Check out the Wikipedia entry: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcade_controller– ayckosterCommented Aug 13, 2012 at 13:41
