The way I understand it, it's 8-way since it has 8 outputs-- UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, then UP-LEFT, UP-RIGHT, DOWN-LEFT, DOWN-RIGHT. The other 8 come from when 2 are combined, e.g. UP-LEFT and UP forming an intermediate direction between the main diagnols. Like hitting UP and LEFT on a cross-shaped Dpad yields a 5th direction .. though it's still just able to go 4 ways.
