be exactly the same as nintendo. have to wait and find out.


Why would it be any different? and i know your tryin to push that they dont do anything innovative. but IMO all 3 do the same amount. nintendo just pushes it more and says everything they do is innovative.... look! i put on a sock today! INNOVATIVE!

I think MS would sue Nintendo if Nintendo claimed to be innovative by wearing a sock....but perhaps, if Nintendo wore said sock on its head, MS couldnt sue them, or bash them. And then theres Sony...they've been wearing the same socks for years.

true. but as long as its the best sock still. no need to change it.


(if we're talking about controllers that is.......socks themselves um always need to be changed. they tend to smell)

I couldnt disagree with that more....

If we never changed our socks, we'd still be stuck using an Atari 2600 Joystick with 1 button. Changing socks brings new things to the table. New things can sometimes be not very good at all (Virtual Boy), or they can sometimes revolutionize the Industry. (The analog thumbstick) Seirously Sony fans, do you guys really want to be using the same controller that you were using back in 1994? Its been 10 years and Sony has not really updated their controller. Somewhat pathetic if you ask me. And dont start ranting about how they added a thumb stick, that was only because Nintendo made it the Industry standard that it is today.

Sony's controller works though.

Who cares if they havent changed it? They havent needed to yet.

They layout is near-perfect, everything is easily accessable.

I can see them adding a button or two onto the back though. I dont know why they would though...they already have 9.

Maybe sony will shape the new one a little more differently. As of now, I can honestly say that the Xbox's controller S is the most comfortable control I've ever held so maybe Sony can change the shape along those lines. The button layout great though. More curvyness is what I'm asking for I guess.

See there, right there. How do you know it cant be improved upon? They havent even tried...

you dont know they havnt tried. maybe they made many models for the PS2, and decided that nothing was an improvment, and none of the changes were needed so they kept the duel shock.

i said while its still the best. Nintendo keeps changing thiers, and have any of em done anything that the current one from sony wouldnt of been better at? no.

there is a HUGE difference between changing something when its needed, and changing something just for the sake of changing it.

Sony changed thiers during the original playstations life cuz it was needed, adding analog sticks. and when its NEEDED they'll change again.


your analogy is completely flawed. a closer one would be back when atari was out, having them continually changing thier controller putting thier one button on the bottom, or on the left side, or on the right.
back then thoes games didnt need changing, when games came along that did. controllers changed.
right now and the forseeable next generation. there is no need for a change in the controllers. the next generation of games is not going to bring anything that the current ones cant do.

the next step in the gaming will bring the next step in controllers cuz thats when its NEEDED.
