Push Square: "Sony is supposedly planning to ditch the DualShock controller with the release of its impending next generation console, the PlayStation 4. The iconic input device, with its pointed handles and symmetrical analogue sticks, has been a pivotal part of Sony’s gaming ecosystem since its original release in 1997. But is it time for a change?"
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Dear goodness yes please! It was great the first 2 times, but now it's just old.
No. The dualshock is perfect. It won two console generations.
Some minor alterations and it will be perfect, better triggers and co caved analogue sticks = perfection
Get rid of that thing, horrible ergonomics.
If I wanted concave analogue sticks and triggers like the 360 controller, I'd use a 360 controller on it.
I actually don't care about the L2/R2 buttons being curved or not, because I use my trigger finger on L1/R1 and my middle finger on L2/R2, same as I have always done.
Concave analogue sticks have an issue for me because I don't use the top of the stick, I push and pull it from the side, so the convex sticks are much better for me.
My changes would be to widen the controller slightly because it may not excell for most things, but it's competent in all. KEEP ANALOGUE FACE BUTTONS!
