Sony considered twin analog sticks for PSP Go
Sony dev boss Shuhei Yoshida's admitted that twin thumb sticks were a "serious" consideration for PSP Go, although the feature didn't make the cut due to compatibility issues.
"We also felt — like many users — that we wish we had a second analog on the PSP," he said, talking in the latest issue of Game Informer.
"But we are talking about the mid-life cycle of this platform, and the PSPgo is designed to be perfectly compatible with the PSP-3000 and all the games that released before that.
"So we had a very serious discussion about this particular subject, but we decided not to add a second analog, and some of the developers are doing quite a nice job translating the second analog functionality to different buttons. We didn't want to divert their efforts either."
