That the D-pad and left analog stick on the Dualshock shouldn't be switched?
This is something I just don't understand. We're going into the next generation of gaming. A generation defined, if by nothing else, than hyper realistic three dimensional gaming.

Why the hell is the D-pad, a relic from the NES, still in the primary position on the PS3 controller?

Are any of you D-pad purists? Am I wrong in seeing this as a minor fault in the PS3 or entire playstation line for that matter?

Nope.

I use the d-pad for most things. I like it where it is.

Well, at least on the PS3 controller, it seems to be more in line with how the thumb naturally extends from your wrist, due to the slanted handles. But on the PS2 it just didn't make any sense.
