Is that controller serious???????? It looks absurd... Why change the form that's stood for 10 years without giving anything extra? Unless it has things I can't see.

ya know looking at that picture, it doesn't look too big.. prongs may be long but the controller may be overall smaller then usual.

The prongs probably make reaching the analog sticks feel more nature.

the more I look at the PS3 controller design, the more it makes sense

It looks like any hand size would fit nicely. If you have long fingers, you can slide your hands further down the prongs than someone with shorter fingers without any kind of discomfort.

I stopped looking at the controller and imagined myself holding it.... And i must say the awkward contours of the controller makes it as if it were a very comfortable playing experience.

Remember they have I M S -- Isolated Motion Sensor... the rumble technology for certain parts of the controller, making a more immersive experience. So they may have the motors on long prongs.

But imagine holding the controller.... It seems as if the prongs really don't bother anything.

Looks wise........I think it's ugly. Will take up a lot of room especially if you have 4 controllers. I have this problem with my Xbox.

However it may be comfortable.
