What I would like to see is a brand new take on the controller. We've been using the same layout for far too long and that's really making games far too repetitive for a lot of vet. gamers I think. Give us something with more freedom, and of course, epic graphics.

I think the button layout is fine. I'm sure 99% of gamers will agree. But adding something that could be useful like a touchpad could be game changing if used properly. Or could not be used at all. Everyone is happy.

I never said the layout wasn't fine - it's brilliant as they've had 20 years to refine it but there lies the issue: it's 20 years old. You can only do so much with existing controllers. They need to completely redo it and I'm not talking make another button-stick pad, I'm talking about a completely new and more versatile interface.
