1. Having a 2nd analog stick on the right side takes up space on the controller. I can’t think of a scenario in which the right side of the controller has 6 buttons AND a stick.
2. Sony went with the 4 button diamond design with the PS1, which BURIED the 6-button Saturn, sales-wise. So much so, that even SEGA themselves adopted this layout with the Dreamcast.
3. Adding additional shoulder buttons made more buttons immediately accessible with your index/ middle fingers
