It certainly isn't best for me, but that's just my opinion. I had far more comfort playing with Gamecube's asymetrical button layout and Wiimote/Nunchuck's asymmetrical style than any other standard controller. Of course, this excludes fighters(which I love), but that genre is stuck in the 90's just like standard controller design.
It is embarrassing they don't see second share/start like button on right.

How do these analysis (IGN video and these pictures) keep missing the button on the opposite side of the touch-pad? Or am I seeing things? Those are probably Select and Start.
I like it. Seriously. Make it out of black brushed aluminium and it'd look awesome sitting on top of my receiver.

It looks like the future!
But I want the old style-sticks.

It's just my thoughts...seeing as it gets brought up in every frickin' controller topic.

This is probably the biggest change to the dual shock since 1998.
Thank you based Sony.

It's not a jab at PS users. It's a jab at people bitching that the DS3 is uncomfortable/thumbs hitting each other/wah wah make it the 360 wah wah.
What?
It looks round enough to be a headset port.
Well, "integrated move" sounds more interesting to me than "integrated Kinect" that's for sure. This controller there looks like the perfect middle between being traditional AND incorporating the stupid new forms of controls like movement for instance.
Actually, the WiiU would have needed that controller by default. Nobody will use the WiiU pro controller.

Who?
Other way around bro. It's making fun of all the people who claim it's impossible to hold a dual shock controller.
If they can remove the mic and lower the touchpad,the select and start buttons can be pushed without issue.
You know the component costs already?

real numbers are uncountable (cantor's diagonal method proof)
but digital button = discrete step pressure sensor
analogue button = continuous pressure sensor
Why do you think that? The touchpad is cheap, the Move sensor lights on the top are also likely quite cheap. Everything else is already in the current DS3 controller.
it adds and it becomes a lot when made in millions. For example if that "little" extra costs sony 20-30 usd per controller. X ten million in first year or whatever. It ends up being a lot. IF they are going to cover it. And that's just the controller.
Its not impossible, it just flat out sucks if you have big hands... the current ds3 feels brittle, no trigger or R3/L3 resistence, and third party controllers have a lag to them.... kinda sucks bro.

the touch panel probably costs a couple dollars, an LED light costs a lot less than that. It does add up when multiplied by millions but it's a fairly small cost to add those features.
Look what happened last time they tried a big revision though (boomerang controller)

A gyro sensor isn't. It could be useful.

Since the gamepad doubles as a Move controller apparently, the inertial sensors are required. (I'm not sure if/how you can comfortably handle it with one hand, though)
Gyro Aim in Uncharted:GA disagrees.

Just like the Move sphere... But it's true the word "sensor" is inappropriate, since it doesn't sense anything. It could be labeled "Move emitter", or something like that.

To be fair, everything looks awesome when its made out of black brushed aluminum. I want a brushed aluminum premium console model.

The best thing about that is that in the article it says DF will have an article on the prototype controller later today.
It's a new day and I only like the look of that controller more. Sony controllers have generally been my least favorite every gen. But the way they subtly changed the ergonomics, sticks, and added the move light make it pretty awesome. If that touchpad is sensitive enough to use for aiming instead of the right stick in FPS games, they will have pretty much created the perfect controller (minus biofeedback grips).
