/sarcasm Wow that looks like a gimmick Nintendo would try /sarcasm (I'm joking, or am I )

But that looks interesting. Hopefully its sturdy enough

OMG, they protrude too much from the controller. What an awful design! Looks too delicate too. They need to come up with something a little more sturdy.

Final Thoughts: Send this thing back to the drawing board. Clean up! Aisle 7!

Hopefully that is not the PS3 controller, it looks very awkward to me.

I think the PS controller needs to evolve more than it has. It is the only system controller that hasn't really changed much and there is room for improvement.

I think the only reason they haven't changed it, is so that gamers dont need to adjust when playing next-gen games. However they should add maybe 2 more buttons for convenience.

IF this was or is real, it has nothing to do with how the controller will look. its a patent drawing, the only thing they're meant to do is explain how something works, which is how it gets patented.

which imo is a good thing. dont fix what doesnt need to be. if they're adding something new they think it needs thats one thing. but its still the best design out there,

Date on picture says November 4, 2002. PS2 had only been launched a couple years before... I highly doubt these are legit. What happened to the analog sticks? Nothing on this makes sense. The seesaw wouldn't work for a lot of games because you often need both shoulders at the same time.

There are a few things that need be fixed on the PS2 Controller, it's not perfect. I find the analogs really awkward on it, and it's not that comfortable. Is it the best design? Yes and no. It is the best design in the fact that it is the most versatile, and can be used for tons of different games. I like Cube's better for platformers and racing games, and Zelda and whatnot, and XBox better for FPS.
