The prongs probably make reaching the analog sticks feel more nature.

the more I look at the PS3 controller design, the more it makes sense

It looks like any hand size would fit nicely. If you have long fingers, you can slide your hands further down the prongs than someone with shorter fingers without any kind of discomfort.

I stopped looking at the controller and imagined myself holding it.... And i must say the awkward contours of the controller makes it as if it were a very comfortable playing experience.

Remember they have I M S -- Isolated Motion Sensor... the rumble technology for certain parts of the controller, making a more immersive experience. So they may have the motors on long prongs.

But imagine holding the controller.... It seems as if the prongs really don't bother anything.

I'm just not a fan of the analog sticks. GC and Xbox's had a better feel to them.

This picture helps me in my theory a little better. To Ken Kutaragi the PS3 looks a bit big, but he's a small man... To Kaz Hirai is was about the size of a PS2. Now look at the controller...

Compared to the unit next to it... it can't be that big.

E3 insiders are reporting that PS3 weighs incredibly light, no more than a iPod or deck of cards, I must say, Sony is stealing the show, but the only other attraction right now is Microsoft.

When Nintendo debuts, the clashing of titans will finally emerge...

Looks wise........I think it's ugly. Will take up a lot of room especially if you have 4 controllers. I have this problem with my Xbox.

However it may be comfortable.

I think it looks really cool. It's nice to see something new. Whether it's practical or not, I don't know. I have my doubts, but it's not worth worrying about, y'know?

Too bad they didn't add triggers.

I just looked at a spreadsheet of the specs of PS3 and X360 side to side, and Microsoft just lost by a milestone...... Check out GameSpot for this one.
