They definitely need to change. I remember really disliking the original PS1 controller and it was uncomfortable especially compared to the awesome Saturn controller. I kind of got used to it playing on the PS1 for awhile though and then Sony goes and screws everything up again by tacking on 2 analog sticks to screw everything up again.
I've never been a fan of the Dual Shock controllers, PS1/PS2/PS3 as they're pretty much the same thing, give or take.
