It's a shame the gaming media haven't grabbed hold of this in any meaningful way. I'm pretty sure Sony would be forced to do something about this if they got enough heat about it from the big sites out there.
They already have.

"A very small number of users have reported to us that the rubber surface of their Wireless Controller (DUALSHOCK 4)'s analog sticks have torn. Although the rubber material of the analog sticks fulfills our quality assurance standard, we will inspect individual DUALSHOCK 4 controllers experiencing this symptom, and will replace them with new ones for free as long as they are within the warranty."
