only real addition or difference is being fatter aside from that i dont see xbox influence. Xbox took sony and nintendos deisng for the 360 and subsequently the xbox one. Go look at the original xbox controller what a pieces of shit mess that was. The sticks swere different like the gamecube then they changed them to be the same, same as sony. The button placement was all the same for the most part except the black and white buttons which they later moved to be more uniform as other controllers and sort of being used as a start and select like controls. But they also had their start and select in the center as well. The dpad they tried to be differnet and then changed it back to a more sony/nintendo feel or look. And then the xbox one came back and dead on copied sonys/nintendo dpad. It tried to copy from the dreamcast for taking out memory cards and stuff too.Its a mish mash of all systems of any current generation as they progress forward from xbox. At least sony is trying something new and differentiating themselves. I still find the touchpad interesting. Wish ps5 was coming with touchscreen lcd one. But yeah, also im surprised sony changed it up once again too.. very surprised.. they didnt have to imo at all. Other than maybe an lcd display, but hey perhaps do a revision in the future.?
