I say it's the default because the controller was designed so that your hands naturally fall on the D-pad and you need to adjust and stretch your grip to use the analog stick.

All other controllers since 1996 have been designed so your hand naturally falls on the analog stick.

No, my hand naturally falls where it is.

Whatever 3D movement I need to make has my two hands placed perfectly. My two thumbs are always aligned when moving.

I sincerely hope they never change that.

Agreed. My hands are symmetrical, so my controller should be, too.

Sony has been following a "copy Nintendo" strategy since the very beginning. They basically just take whatever new thing Nintendo is doing and try to shove it into their current controller design. With this in mind, the PS5 controller will likely be just like the PS4 controller but with HD Rumble.

What a massive load...

Agreed doubly. Hilarious that Nintendo fans really have no clue about the history of gaming, so believe Nintendo originated it all.

Nintendo invented everything!

Motion controls go back to the power glove.  The Wii was the first time they were done right though.  Basically Nintendo did it first (power glove) and they also did it best (Wii).  You're right!  Nintendo really did invent everything.

Also, Nintendo played no role in designing or releasing the Power Glove. That would be Mattel.

I think you're just used to the inferior design.  I mean, there's a reason why literally no one else has had a D-pad default layout in over 20 years.

A very highly rated controller. But, I guess in your mind Nintendo screwed up and it was actually garbage.
