 you do realise that controller preference is opinion, right? while you think the ps controller is horrible, i think it's the best controller ever made. i think the gamecube controller is horrid, but other people think it's the best too. what i'm basically trying to say is that you can't call the design 'lazy', just because it doesn't suit your needs properly. it's a design, which many people like, that's why sony decided to keep it the way it is.

 

if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I disagree with your "its prefference" statement. While you are correct that everyones prefferences are different, that speaks nothing of the general quality of a product.  Someone may preffer mac and cheese to a gourmet steak dinner...the steak dinner is still a better meal.

In any case, it is widely known that the dualshock controller is trying to be the jack of all trades and works fine for that but as soon as you get in to a perticular type of game where precise and accurate controllers are needed (FPS games, 2D fighters, SHMUPS...etc) the controller is not good at all.

 

So you are the self-appointed authority that passes judgement on what is the 'mac' and what is the 'gourmet steak' of dinners? Thanks but no thanks. it also does not help that your posts are consistently anti-sony.

One fact: The gourmet steak is a better meal then the mac, because more people like it, hence the higher demand and the higher price. Is there a similar situation with the PS controllers? Have droves of people hated it, thus forcing Sony to change the design? I guess there are a lot of people like me who are just fine with the PS controller.

In trying to prove a point you are only expressing your personal preference, which, by the way, is fine.

 

Read up on a few more posts in this topic...then post agian if you'd like cause this doesn't make much sense. I am not passing judgement on which controller is better... but many people who actually know what they are doing (including capcom and IGN) have stated ps2/3 controller dpads are not good.

It may do the job for you and be your favourite controller...but like I said, no one will play a fighting tournament match with a ps2 pad. Its like trying to run with your shoes tied.
