I honestly surprises me that you find this mockup good looking with those weird ABXY, the hard to use L&R buttons (how are you going to use them while holding the console) and the placement of the right analog stick.

Good looking and ergonomic is not the same thing. :P

They can't really help the placement of the right circle pad though, as that is part of the actual rumor and I assume you use the L&R buttons just like you usually would. The bottom ones would likely go unused in singleplayer mode and you'd just use the top ones (Wich don't look that diffrent from the 3DS ones).

The shoulder L & R buttons on the 3DS are on the top framework, not the bottom panel. They would be a pain to use in that position unless they are triggers, which they aren't.

Also, that mockup assumes that left and right detachable controllers will be symmetrical and used with the internal side pointing to the TV like a NES controller, henche the reason of the right analog being under the buttons. But that's based on an assumption, not from any actual rumor.
