Sony’s radical PlayStation 4 controller concept

The current controller is "dual" enough for me.

That looks so terrible.

Did they learn nothing from last time?

The Coleco-/Intellivision controller is all the ergonomics you need.
FTFY

Are you sure you didn't make a mistake there? Those are some of the worst controllers ever created.

I like the Atari 5200 controller for its reliability.

That looks so uncomfortable it is ridiculous

But that's how Move works, the camera tracks the glowing balls.

I think the sentence "that looks balls" may be appropriate here.
As long as it controls and handles fine I don't care though.

Aside: I don't think the NES controller is very comfortable.
One of the most comfortable pads for holding is the original Microsoft Sidewinder, in shape and has perhaps the most comfortable d-pad I ever rested my thumb on.
But the Sidewinder d-pad is crap for precision movements.
In contrast, the Nintendo d-pad is possibly the best for precision, but gives me callosities too frequently. Sony's disjointed d-pads are decently comfortable but don't control so well for my taste. The Sega d-pad on the Saturn is perhaps the nearest to a perfect compromise.

Yeah, that truly is a controller wit sum ballz!

In all fairness though, Sony has patented a lot of concepts that have never seen the light of day

I actually think this is a pretty good idea. Allows them to have a motion controller a la Wii style, while having a hardcore controller a la well PS3 style. Best of both worlds.

First thing that sprang to mind...

Still love that controller. And the JogCon too...

Too bad they never used that concept again.

Always frustrated me when I looked at the original oXbox controller.

That logo should've been a force feedback wheel...

Those balls make the OP's concept controller look retarded though...
