Why didn't they keep this design?

Because they're not stupid

>>377078871
they didnt want people to hurt themselves when they threw their controllers

>>377078871
Because people want a controller not a boomerang

>>377078871
It looks like a sex toy

>>377078871
It's a boomerang.

>>377078938
designing it in the first place probably takes more effort and stupidity than keeping the design.

Look at that shit, OP.
LOOK AT IT
WHY WOULD THEY KEEP THAT THING

I guarantee that thing would be used as a dildo, in one way or another.

Every time you throw it in anger it comes back

I'm not a skinwalker so sadly I'm unable to hold it properly.
I like the current design.

Honestly, it looks more comfortable than the dualshock.

it actually can be gripped by non-jap hands.

>>377079518
I held onto it, it's actually a lot, LOT more comfortable than DS3.

>>377079518
It's was actually a good comfortable controller. You can't say the same about any other Sony controller I existence, unless you are 8 years old or have nip hamds

>threw out the boomerang design
>it doesn't come back

>>377078871
It looked pretty comfortable and ergonomic desu, wonder why they didn't go with it. Maybe patent trolling. Maybe Sony is just dumb.

>>377078871
Fuck I had one of those, what a piece of shit.

>>377078871
It looks dumb and uncomfortable as fuck.

They didn't keep it because people complained.

They tried telling people it was ergonomic as hell and super comfortable, and people who got to hold it comfirmed this, but it was ridiculed too heavily so they went back.

>>377079753
shut up, faggot. ur just mad you didn't do it first, nerd

Why THE FUCK hasn't this thing surfaced up in some kind of bizarre auction or garage sale isn't that where most prototype shit ends up anyways

>>377083901
is that why dualshock 3 was lighter than DS2?

>>377083762
as opposed to the model they chose and continue to use HA

>>377084062
The first ps3 controller was the sixaxis and didn't have rumble, which made it way lighter. Dualshock 3 also benefitted from better lighter hardware.

>>377078871
looks like a terrible design.

it probably make your fingers slip.

>>377084179
The sixaxis being shit doesn't make the boomerang any less shit, retard.

>>377083762
It is, while you hold it your hands are constantly trying to slide upwards and together.

>>377084715
i don't see how. you're just dumb

>>377084826
When you're playing games you need pressure points on fingers that don't need to move. That is like a bar of soap. There's no place to really grip

>>377085367
wow, you really are just dumb

>>377085479
You are actually more dumb than anyone here.

Sorry your dik is small

>>377078871
They kept it for the Australian models.

>>377085552
The only real problem was the weight and probably the design. It just doesn't look sharp and it's pretty big. Testers said it was comfortable. You really are just dumb/no kinesthetic feel for anything

>>377085738
You're a nigger

>>377085828
whatchu gonna do now that a nigger is smarter than u, boy?

>>377078871
thats basically a vibrator. stick it in the ol poopchute, randomly shoot if you're playing a fps, and enjoy the ride

>>377085738
>Testers said it was comfortable.

I owned it, and I can confirm what the other anon said, it was not. It didn't have a stable grip and constantly wanted to try to slip out of your hands.

It was a piece of shit, and that's why it was dropped.

>>377085882

You kidding? The thing acting like a boomerang is as old as the design itself

>>377086092
I sure as hell did, had one for my PS2 back in the early 2000's. Hell it's probably still in storage somewhere.

>confusing a hunchback with a golem

Show Quasimodo a little respect anon.

>>377078871
holy shit I actually forgot about this

I don't think we'll ever score as many memes with a console unveiling ever again as we did with the PS3, it was an unparalleled gold mine.

>>377079040
why would they design it to begin with?

it's hard to imagine the concept making it past the drawing stage

id like to interject with vital information

look how fucking small the controller was

>>377078938
>not stupid
did you even see the image?

>>377078871
It looks like one of those cheap $15 mad katz controllers

>>377087173
like i dont think you anons understand just how realistically small this was

theres so few photos of the controller being handled that even i thought it was big, but no its actually really fucking small

>>377087173
okay now that's a dildo

>>377078871
can I see a pic of someone's hands/fingers holding it? Gotta check the ergonomics of this thing

>>377079518
>inb4 some kids born in 2001 claim they've tested it

>>377078871
this design was so stupid and ugly looking I have to imagine it was comfortable as fuck or something--I mean they had to have some reason for actually trying to sell something that looked like that.

>>377079029
It's called a prototype dumb fuck
