Why didn't they keep this design?

Why didn't they keep this design?

Because they're not stupid

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

Because people want a controller not a boomerang

It looks like a sex toy

It's a boomerang.

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.

...

this was that "FUUUUTUUUURE" scene from spongebob embodied in a controller design.

Too many people would try to fuck themselves with it.

underrated

They're waiting so they can bundle it with a new Ty game

well played

Did anyone of you actually got to play with that controller?
how do you know it's shit? what if its comfy?

pass the controller, bro

...

..bro?

I think most people here weren't even aware what E3 was when it was playable there.

golem get ye gone

Old joke and poorly executed

0.5/10

Heh, I remember this from PSM.

>ay bro chuck us the controller
>NIGGA IM TRYIN'

Honestly, it looks more comfortable than the dualshock.

it actually can be gripped by non-jap hands.

So why did they keep releasing a boomerang

I guess you could say it backfired.

$599 US DOLLARS

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

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

RIIIIIIIIIIIIDGE RACER!

...

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

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

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

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.

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

is that why dualshock 3 was lighter than DS2?

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

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.

looks like a terrible design.

it probably make your fingers slip.

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

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

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

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

wow, you really are just dumb

You are actually more dumb than anyone here.

Sorry your dik is small

They kept it for the Australian models.

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

You're a nigger

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

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

>Testers said it was comfortable.

I owned it, and I can confirm what the other user 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.

I fucked your chimp mum on mother's day

No you didn't.

...

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

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 user.

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.

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

>not stupid
did you even see the image?

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

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

okay now that's a dildo

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

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

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.

It's called a prototype dumb fuck

lol wut

What the fuck are you talking about user?

All ps3s came with that controller.

You don't remember?

>le funny mandingo effect

Because people would use it as a dildo

I know I would, it's curved to hit the prostate just right
