There have been a skew of rumors floating around the internet for the past few days claiming that Sony will ditch the Dualshock design that they have been using since the PS1 in favor of a controller with a touch-screen interface, much like the Wii U, and biometric feedback. Personally, I don't think it matters what should do, people will be pissed regardless. For instance, if they went the touch-screen design, the Nintendo fanboys will be like "HERP DERP SONY IS COPYING NINTENDO AGAIN. SONY IS THE MOST UNORIGINAL COMPANY EVAR!!!1," while if they stick with the dualshock design, the Sony fanboys will be like "HERP DERP WHY IS SONY STILL USING THE SAME, TIRED DESIGN FOR A CONTROLLER AGAIN? WHY DOESN'T SONY INNOVATE FOR ONCE?" Because of this, I think it would serve Sony best to give players options by releasing both a gimmicky new controller and a revamped dualshock design, much like what Nintendo is doing with the Wii U. But what do you think Sony's going to do?
