Not they put them on the buttom because that's what their primary audience is used to. The D-Pad was still the primary mode of input on the DS1 so the analog positioning was understandable. Once the majority of games when 3D, the d-pad became secondary input. It's the main reason I bought a Power A 3rd party controller for my PS3. If I were a pad player on fighting games I could see a use for the setup but I have an arcade stick for all of my consoles for fighting games.
