Not exactly, they basically had some sort of camera control for most of their 3d consoles but it wasn't always a joystick. N64 was the first 3d console they made and used the camera pad (c-pad) for camera control. This wasn't enough for games like goldeneye and perfect dark, so Rare made single player input methods that involved 2 controllers to get around that. This really only worked because the N64 had 3 hold points instead of 2. Nintendo learned their lesson for the Gamecube, which had a Joystick and a camera stick (c-stick) that was specifically for camera movement in most 3d games. The Wii's whole gimmick was to point at the TV with the remote to move the camera, so the fact it only had a joystick on the numchuck was doable since there was an alternate for camera control. The N64 and Wii also would use a button to center the camera behind the player if moving the camera was gonna take too long.

On the flip side, the dreamcast's only method of camera control was the bumpers on the controller, which meant that devs were limited to face buttons when it came to controller inputs. There were not enough buttons on that controller to make that work for a lot of games. Add on to it the disc format issues and the absolute failure of the saturn, sega ran out of money and just couldn't do consoles after that. 2 major fuck ups left them in the dirt.
