Actually make a good controller? I detest their controller. Every time I buy a Sony console I have to buy a 3rd party controller. Seriously it's 2012 and the PS3 STILL has a d-pad as it's primary input.
Think about that for a second. The PS3 has a d-pad as the primary input over an analog stick. Before anyone tries to debate this and say how it's opinion which is the main input. Keep in mind that the controller is basically identical to the PS1 controller. A controller that only had analog sticks added after being designed. The entire controller form factor was built around the d-pad. The controller exists in a form without the analog sticks at all.
Make analog the main input, put some better analog sticks on there, turn the triggers into proper triggers and for goodness sake redesign the hand grip bits. The hand grips have always felt like less part of the controller and more like the type of clip on things you get for the PSP etc. Then when they have a good controller they can worry about adding touch panels etc.
The DS was quite good for the PS1 generation, awful for the PS2 generation but for the PS3 generation? It's just an embarrassment. The only reason it's kept is because people are used to it. People were used to the SNES controller too, but the times they are a-changin'.
