Controllers are made in China, just like the Wii and 360 controllers. Has no bearing on QC.
I've never had a Sony controller break on me although I usually buy new controllers throughout any console life cycle that receives the most use. If the D-pad or buttons start to look polished due to use, odds are I already have an extra/replacement being used. I prefer using new controllers.
But then I've never dropped or thrown a controller to the ground in the last 20 odd years either. I don't use the Wii strap; don't need it.
While it's possible you've had statistically improbable bad luck with your Sony controllers, it's most likely just you and your playing habits.
