Yes, never innovate. 2D games were fun as they were, we shouldn't have gone to 3D.
Sarcasm asside, I do like the old controller more than this new hideous thing. Although I've never held it, I could change my mind if it is more comfortable/natural fitting, which wouldn't be a shock vs. the current PS controllers (sharp and sleek but not as contoured and form fitting as the XBox/GC controllers), however I doubt I'll like the feel, because the still have the joystick in the secondary position...what, is Sony still sore about being forced to copy Nintendo with the use of a joystick? Are they still refusing to acknowledge its superior to the dpad in most situations, especially 3D games? Granted it works where it is, it just isn't as comfortable/precise to use as the sticks on the Xbox/GC/n64/Dreamcast...anyways, I like that they're actually looking into designing a better controller, hopefully this is still a possible prototype, otherwise we'll most likely have a PS3 S-controller situation on our hands
We still have a year to see what develops.
