Obviously. The N64 had rumble 6 months before the PS, so that design had zero contribution to having rumble. “Imagine if the PS controller really had taken shape like the flat SNES controller, would we have ever experienced the rumble?”

Gran Turismo was the same way.... Come on, if you're going to localize for the USA keep the x and o buttons in mind!!! Aaaaarrrgggghhh! Raaaaaaagggeeeeee!!!

It was an amazing controller design that became even better when it was modified as the Dual Shock. Its a true testament to the orginal design that it has endured through 3 different systems and is still going strong. I know when they first released picks for the PS3, when at that time they were having patent issues with the controller and they redesigned it to look like a boomerang, I hated it. I couldn't stand the redesign and I had my fingers crossed that they would resolve the problem before it was released and thank goodness for all of us, they did.
