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.

This sucks, now they preffer to have a "distinct" controller than having one more ergonomic and efficient, :/
I like more Xbox360 controllers than the ones for PS3. On next gen I'll be buying PS4. but if its possible to find a 3rd party controller, i will look up for a more ergoonomic one.
