Apologies for the thread hijack, BTW



I expect the PS4 will follow tradition and have two analogue sticks. Playstation controller design has been quite conservative and has followed the same pattern since the very beginning; the original controller (picture here) had two analogue sticks bolted onto it to form the dualshock, which recieved a few tweaks and the rumble feature to become the PS2's dualshock2.
*cough* The original dual shock also had a rumble feature, hence the name

I believe the shock feature was actually something Sony did first, since Nintendo later added it with the rumble pack.


Not having seen a PS3 I can't comment much on the controller, but it seems like it went wireless and had a slight makeover but is otherwise unchanged from the dualshock2.
Well, the sixaxis IS pretty different:

-it has rolland pitch control (perhaps yaw too), which means that like the Wii controller, it's montion sensitive. (The Wii controller is motion sensitive to all 6 axis i believe)
-it has NO rumble
-it's wireless
-it has slightly better analog sticks (or so I've heard)

The PS4 controller is anybody's guess. Right now it looks like Wii-style control is the future, expect rip offs very soon.
