Over 90% of games use the left joystick over the D-pad, why insist on putting it in an inherently less comfortable and likely thumb-dislocating position? Symmetry over usability? Then again I've never liked PS[1-3] controllers at all (puny handles, loose analog sticks, and triggers very difficult to push 100%), nor have I used any of the recent Nintendo opposite-joystick pads.
Same here actually.
On the other hand, despite what other people say, I really like the WiiU Pro controller. GC/Xbox style controllers have the right stick in an annoying to reach position, PS1-3 controllers and similar have BOTH joysticks at the bottom, while the WUPC actually has the joysticks AND the buttons easy to reach on BOTH sides.
But I haven't played too many console FPS games (or used a controller with PC games), so I can understand people being really used to the classic "one joystick above, one below" design and being annoyed at having their muscle memory fail them when using the WUPC.
