LOL The original PS1 controller was a direct rip off of the SNES controller except for two additional shoulder buttons, then the N64 came out and the analog stick proved vastly superior than the D-Pad for 3D movement so Sony decided to stick two of them on the next controller purely for symmetry purposes. Also the 'Dual Shock' name comes from the fact the controller has two force feedback motors in each handle. Guess where thay got the idea for rumble from?
Yeah so the Sony fanboys should get back under their bridges now.. Bye guys!
ON TOPIC: I don't have any idea why Nintendo decided to do this except perhaps they don't want people to use the GameCube controllers anymore..
