PlayStation Arc button configurations described?

arcIchinisan, a Junior Member over at NeoGAF is claiming to know the PlayStation 3 Arc’s configurations.  I’m not too sure how accurate or even reliable this will be, but it’s always fun to add some food for thought on what could possibly lie ahead.

According to Ichinisan’s post, the Arc will be longer than the Wii Remote and will include the analog stick on the front, along with the X and O buttons right below.  Then below the X and O buttons, you will find a D-pad.  Then the L1 and L2 below.

Here is his post that describes the Arc:

Just saw pictures of Wand/Nunchuk so:

Nunchuck has an analog stick at the front, below that X and O and below that a D pad. Underneath is L1 and L2. Its actually long, not like the Wii Nunchuk.

As for the Wand it has one very big button on top and then all four facebuttons (X,O,Square and Triangle) and underneath is a big trigger called T.

I’m guess the doubling up of X and O across the two is to keep full compatibility with single Wand set-ups.

Anyway, I’m sure we’ll see in the week.

In looking at previous prototypes of the Arc, yes it seems as though the analog description is correct, as we saw when it was introduced at E3 2009.  However, it seems slightly shorter than the Wii Remote.  Plus you see the buttons on the front all sort of side-by-side on the image above.

There is one thing that Ichinisan is definitely right on, that we will have to wait and see.
