This isn't just about asthetics... the point is the Dual Shock incorporated both analog sticks and force-feedback AFTER Nintendo had introduced both earlier that generation with the N64 controller and Rumble pack. Every facet of the modern Playstation controller has been "borrowed" by previous Nintendo game pads. Throw RF wireless in there too with the GC Wavebird pad. The only "innovation" Sony made was making all buttons on their controller pressure sensitive as opposed to just the triggers like on the DC, GC and Xbox pads. And now that the 4 face buttons, 2 analog sticks and 2 sets of shoulder buttons / triggers layout has become the standard for modern game pads, all of a sudden that makes Nintendo the copycat? But then again, you can't really blame Sony for constantly ripping off their competitors, because when left to their own devices, they came up with this gem of a controller...

oh the boomerang, what a memorable failure of a concept.
