PS4: Sony admits early DualShock 4 designs were closer to Xbox 360
Speaking with GamesBeat, Aoki recalled, “For the analog sticks, we did test having the analog sticks on top, since the Xbox has the left side on top [above the D-pad]. Especially from the shooter teams — we got feedback that that’s what they wanted. They knew that consumers liked the 360 for shooters.”
He added, “The feedback from the user test team said that we needed to test this version, the Xbox version, and this version. [But having the two sticks symmetrical on the left and right sides] is kind of in our DNA. The prototype team, myself, and also the management team really felt that having this look is the PlayStation look, and we had to keep that.”
Have you tried DualShock 4 yet? What do you think? Personally, I prefer the Xbox 360 stick layout, but admit that the DualShock 4 is – in my opinion – the better of the two next-gen devices.

I am not a biased consumer I own all of the gaming platforms (xbox, PC, PS, and Wii-yes wii is a gaming platform) but I can say that I have decently large hands and I couldn't hold the PS3 controller very long without it feeling uncomfortable. Hopefully they made it better but I will have to see in about a year when I buy the console. Xbox is my pre-order choice sorry Playstation lol.

Well the ps3 controller and ps4 controller is small compared to the xbox which in my opinion is harder to my accurate when its not resting in my palm comfortably.

I don't blame them for wanting it to be like the Xbox controller.
It is far superior than the tiny little PS3 controller.

The best controllers by far are Xbox, and if they make them closer to Xbox the controller will be amazing.
