Yet most of the people I know loathe the N64 controller with a passion. The analogue stick is too tall to be comfortable, and it usually breaks off to boot. You can't access all the buttons at once - okay, it might be a 'design' feature, but it's a stupid one. The GCN design is way superior...but looks remarkably like a customised DualShock or Xbox unit.
In addition, what exactly don't you like? You seem to simply be saying that Nintendo's designs are better, without actually pinpointing what is the problem with Sony's. You can't dislike a controller simply because it hasn't changed (much) over the years, versus a company that constantly messes with control schemes to mixed results.
Refined how? Sony, for this round, are making it larger, with a bigger space between sticks, altering the triggers completely and adding a touchpad and light bar. Oh, and the D-pad has been tuned slightly, ditto the face buttons. What else is left?
Having not held one and seeing the same location of the sticks indicates it may be nearly the same experience. The thumb stick location is not very ergonomic, but it works though.
The triggers were a massive fail. I heard they were redesigned but I will reserve judgement on that until I feel the feedback of the spring return, vice the squishiness of the ps3 controller trigger.
