[QUOTE="superballs, post: 117013, member: 341"] I agree with you, Gord, that coming from the PS systems, it's just the way it was, and I remember it back from when i first gleefully unwrapped my first dual shock in the mid 90s, however, the XBOX controller borrowed the general placement heavily from the Dreamcast, and even to a point from the Gamecube, and to a degree the N64, where the analog stick wasn't in the same postion relative to the D-Pad, but it was still more or less front-row center and in a postion that I personally find more comfortable. The Sony design is a throwback to the original PS controller which didn't have an analog stick whatsoever, so the analog sticks were added on as an option, an alternate method to the digital pad, which was the primary control method, and therefore was in the position for primary comfort. That said, just to clarify, I think Sony themselves should put out an alternate design, ensuring the quality of a first party peripheral and allowing both options, but that's just me. Otherwise, I'm willing to adjust as MS lost my console business as of their announcement of the 1. [/QUOTE]
