Why is it that the PS2 controller is the same as the PSX controller?. I can see why, if you're going to play PSX games on
the PS2.
However, I think Sony made a bad decision in chosing to do this, as the Playstation controller is not the best one available. Surely they could have changed the controller slightly, keeping all the same buttons but changing the position of them?
Has anyone used a DC controller? If so, you will know that they are
perfect-the buttons are exactly where they should be (particularly the two triggers on the underside of the console) and although people will buy the PS2 anyway, despite the ridiculously high price(-£299 with NO GAMES!) if the price hadn't put me off then the controller would have.
