The De-Evolution Of PlayStation Gaming Controllers

1:20PM December 18, 2009 | Sean Fallon

As the guys at Autour D’un Cafe pointed out, the PlayStation controller has de-evolved over the years. There was a lot on inbreeding at first, but that changed after a night of heavy drinking.

As the story goes, the DualShock got it on with a ’60s era Baterang and the Gaming Gods retaliated – smiting their unholy spawn. This event cleared the slate, so to speak, and the evolutionary process started all over again. [Autour D'un Cafe via Geekologie]

    Despite 14 years in the business, they still have not designed a controller that is comfortable to hold and use for extended periods of time :P

    Another poor article, I am getting so sick of having to pick through the rubbish on Gizmodo to find things that actually matter. If you don’t have anything interesting to write then don’t, save us having to sort through this type of nonsense that tells me nothing.
