Never liked PS controllers, and I hate the placement of the analog stick.

After playing Wii for so long, I don't like using traditional pads. Even in games with very little motion sensing it's so much more comfortable to lay with your hands far apart from one another.

I don't understand how people can defend the fact that Sony has not tried to dramatically improve their controller for the past 10 years. If the "handles" were a little bigger and the sticks rearranged a bit then it would be much, much more comfortable. As it is now I just can't get used to it, if the handles were a bit bigger it would negate the fact that the triggers have a rounded edge that makes it easy for your fingers to slip off.

In this case "don't fix what isn't broken" isn't a line Sony fans should defend with because the PS controllers have been a poorly implemented design from the start. Adding nubs to an SNES controller doesn't make it easier to play.

Amazing that a company who puts so much thought and money into the console doesn't put the same thought and money into the controller. The Bananarang would probably have been better than the Sixaxis/DS3. Too bad everyone laughed it into oblivion.

Well, a lot of people actually like the DS controller. Maybe not here, but most PS fans do.

If it wasn't for the Joystick problem, I would pick the N64 controller as the best controller ever.

Sony could do a lot to fix the controller just be inverting the convex shape of the triggers and analog sticks. Would make them more ergonomical.

LMAO. Well still more rumble than the SixAxis, but hopefully the DS3 has rumble more in line with the 360s. Personally I'd rather they shaved 10 bucks off the cost of the Wii-mote and took out both that crappy speaker, and the rumble.

Rumble...? it was cool with Starfox 64 and goldeneye...

I don't even pay attention to it anymore! It's useless!

It's all personal preference. I prefer the 360 controller because I like the stick placement and the larger design. Also, the L2 and R2 buttons feel better and more "natural" to me.BioShockOwnz

I like the 360 controller for those reasons, too.

Tilt, rumble, un-ergonomic design and weird shoulder buttons? Yeah... best... right...

The Wavebird is the best controller ever made. It sips batteries and has the near perfect design of the Gamecube controller all in the same package.

Depends on the game..

Wii controller is best for.. Wii Sports.. and stuff..

360 controller is best at shooters (and pretty much every other genre, thanks to its thumbstick layout)

PS1/2/3 controller is good for dpad using games.. and I always found Tony Hawk games better on them..
