Well obviously you have selective reading as I have made some good remarks about Sony here and there (such as their game development section of the company and did I just not state in this topic that I thought the DS and DS2 were good controllers?)

You would reverse the Dpad position with the analog stick because the way the DS2 controller is held, the Dpads position gives it priority, and you just said it yourself that now days the Dpad isn't used as much (though it's still better for fighting games than an analog stick) The DS design was based off of the original PS controller and they just added the analog sticks to the bottom portion of the controller without regarding ergonmics. The natural resting position of your thumbs is where the dpad is at, therefore they should be reversed. That's what the Xbox and the 360 controllers do and it improves upon controller functionality.

So Bluntblaze, the Sixaxis is lighter than the DS2, so does that mean you are saying that last generation for the PS2, the DS2 always bugged you for being too heavy? Or does the heavy complaint only apply when it's a Microsoft or Xbox product?


A fanboy would side with one company and hate on everything else and praise nothing but its console/company of choice. I on the other hand like pretty much all facets of gaming except Sony. My bitterness towards them has no reference to any other brand I guess you could call it Anti-Fanboyism. Instead of extreme love for one particular brand, it's extreme hatred for one particular brand. Justified in my own eyes, if not in others eyes.
