the controller is the soul. the software change and the hardware change over the generations but not the controller design. if the ps1 controller was a piece of sh** during the ps1 life-time the console would of been dismissed by a lot of people or sony would of changed it through the ps2/ps3 cycle. obviosuly those who are complaining are a low percent of the userbase as well as other console owners sony wont cater to because the playstation is not the 360, wii, or the pc. let me also bring up that i owned other consoles and never had a problem going between them.
i and others play shooters using the ps3 controller and we dont suck (and we are life-long playstation supporters) the control is design perfectly for shooters so who would sony listen to? the 90% of people who love it or the low 10% who dont? i have no problem going between the d-pad (for skills or other uses) and the left analog stick (for movement) maybe it's just you. frankly it takes more skill on the ps3 than 360 considering 70% cheat on the 360.
my brother and others (me sometimes) play fighting games on the ps3 and dont suck and love the controller (some are even saying tekken wont work on the 360 because of the controller change)
me, my brothers, and others play rpgs using the ps3 cotroller and we have no problem with it.
i love playing racing games using the ps3 controller (i think the playstation controller is the best for racing)
so please even though i understand your frustration there's nothing wrong with the controller and dont try to change it to someone elses controller design because the playstation isnt other consoles.
P.S by the description you gave by where the buttons should be place you described the Ms xbox 360 controller... THIS IS NOT THE 360 IT'S THE PLAYSTATION

You're not actually making an argument, you're just insisting that the Dualshock is perfect. It isn't. There is room for improvement. This isn't about what Sony will do, it's whether or not they should for the sake of ergonomics. And yes, in terms of ergonomics, they would improve the feel of the controller by putting the primary left-side input method - the thumbstick - in the place where the thumb naturally rests - which is where the D-pad is.

no you arent making an argument. im demonstrating how the controller worked over the times (since i was 6, ps1 till im 21, ps3) from shooters to racing games. you in the other hand are like "teh xbox 360 d-pad iz here and the analog herez" turning the *playstation controller* into the 360's controller
again you seem to be missing the point, so ill make it easier for you. This is not Ms's Xbox 360 or other consoles, it's the "Playstation". the controller layout obviously works for millions of users (90% in another article i read else where, and 66% here). maybe it's not the controller just you. because i can own using the 360 controller, playstation controller, or dreamcast controller, three completely different layouts (dc and 360 arent too different though and thats because MS took the design of the dc controller can you guess why?).
