Why would people want the analog stick? Is it just because they want it to be similar to the 360's or is there some other reason?

Its always had an analog stick.

Except the original PS1. Or did you mean move it.

Its in an unnatural place. Strafing right whilst looking left  = bumping thumbs. Its really a bad design. Makes sense being where it is on 360, Dreamcast, Xbox, GC, PC controllers etc.

But you could always put your thumbs on the opposite edges of the analog sticks. It's really not that big of an issue and only takes like two seconds to grow accustomed to it.

Ive played through most top PS3 titles now, and have found ways around it. Buts its not a comfortable solution. Its playable yes, but te other design is better and provides more comfort. If you have to repostion to use a device in such a way, the next design should rectify it. It would only improve the gaming experience.

Look at the Xbox 1 controller. It was horrendous on quite a few areas. It was good to see Microsoft listen and remap the controller. Except for te god awful Dpad. Its bloody orrible for 2d games. I use te analog when Id rather use the DPAD its that bad.
