As I was using my DS4, I flashed back to the Sega Genesis and the popularity of Street Fighter II. Sega was able to solve the problem of having only 3 action buttons by introducing a new 6 button controller. It seems that something similar could be done for console-based MMOs.

My first thought for an MMO specific controller is that the digital directional pad is potentially unnecessary with the analog sticks being present. You can replace the action buttons with a six-button setup. The kicker is that could also replace the digital directional buttons with the same six-button. This would add much more flexibility and efficiency for accessing necessary actions/ macros during the game.

I believe that dedicated MMO players would purchase something like this to make their console experience a little less tedious and a little bit more enjoyable. I realize that Square Enix doesn\\'t make controllers but they probably know a guy that knows a guy... just saying.
