In an interview with OPM, PS3 visual designer Teiyu Goto revealed that the original PS3 ‘boomerang’ controller prototype was dropped because Sony felt the change was a great risk, since even the slightest change to the controller could annoy gamers.

As a result, Sony ditched the boomerang and reverted back to the original Dual Shock 2 model, which eventually was fused into the wireless and motion-sensing controller we use today, known as SIXAXIS.
