Fans of a smaller form factor, Japanese players complained the very long hand grips made the controller too large to be held properly and the lack of a rumble feature in the U.S. and European models are the most commonly cited reasons that Sony decided to end production of this controller and redesign it.

This is due to the fact the controller's type ID that is reported to the game is changed when the button is pressed.
