We are on separate pages here, as I think you misunderstood a couple of my points. The whole thing about the patent was that it was a red herring. It was pretty much stated that "the reason other companies don't have a symmetrical layout is because of Sony's patent". Do you get what I'm saying? Clearly, Sony's patent has nothing to do with why other companies don't have that layout, or do you disagree? I hope you realize this will become very awkward if/when Sony eventually releases a controller with a traditional analog layout.

I consider myself to be very good at reading the intentions of people, and that's why I said "I'm calling you out" to that poster. It's not important to me whether or not N64 was the influencer or not, but it does trigger me a little bit to see people who *are* bothered about it. ... And, you did state that you are a "fanboy", so it leads me to believe that if Sony had offset sticks from the start and other companies used a symmetrical layout, you would have a tendency towards offset. If that's the case, then it's kind of pointless, right?

I've read a lot of your posts on here and we've had impactful discussions. I even got GT Sport due to your recommendation when I bought my PSVR. I think you have a great mind and a great way of conveying your ideas, so I'm not sure if you intentionally misrepresented what I said or if I'm still being unclear (not trying to sound rude). No hard feelings.

So for your first point you would like us to believe that the reason only Sony uses symmetrical is because all other know it is inferior?

You can consider yourself to be a good judge of character, but that is hardly important or can be verifiable. You may have not seem in his post and others that commented upon it, where he says both are valid and ok to use, he preffers symmetrical and that to say it is inferior is due to bias. Basically you are attacking a point that wasn't made.

Perhaps there is a language barrier here. I checked your profile and saw that you are from Brazil, so I wonder if maybe Spanish is your native language, and English is secondary?

If so, then I want to clarify something, because you are kind of sort of understanding my point (it's a little funny actually because you had the same reaction I did at first regarding the accusation). Offset versus symmetrical is a preference. Neither is definitively superior or inferior. What you just accused me of is exactly the same as what I was accusing the other poster of in the first place.

PS. You are coming off as a little bit rude. If I've said something to bother you, then I apologize.
