It's obviously a mockup because I have to believe that no design team would produce such an idiotic controller. Having the analog stick and face buttons operated by the same hand - thumb, actually - is a bad, bad idea.
Why do I keep seeing this complaint? Are you people aware that the 360 controller has two analog sticks? The "main" stick will be on the left-hand part of the controller, just like it is on the regular one (there's no word of a "nunchuck" for this controller, but it would obviously be useless without one). The stick on the wand will be for minor things like camera control, just like it's always been.
The reason the Wii doesn't have a second analog stick has nothing to do with motion and analog on the same component being a bad idea. It's because they stripped away all non-essential inputs to keep it simple and casual-friendly. That's also why there's only one face button... There's no reason in the world for a "hardcore" system like the 360 or the PS3 to restrict itself in the same way.
