i'd obviously have to choose the wii.. seriously, it's incredibly inovative and fun as hell to play with.

never actually used the ps3 yet, but seeing as its pretty much the same as the ps1 and ps2, ive gotta go with that.

I really dont see how people can vote for the ps3 over the 360. the 360 has actually been ergonimcally designed in relation to use of the analalog sticks, the PS3 has just had them shoved underneath, and the analog triggers are also hard to use when using the analog stick as well.

madness i tell you

Out of all three, definately the Xbox... Reasons?

It's ergonomically the best with a perfect weight distribution, as well as rumble and great battery life. Overall, it's simple, sturdy, robust, and great for PC as well as Xbox.

Why does the PS3 fail? Well it's far too light and the lack of rumble is annoying in some games (Motorstorm especially for example, or F1). In addition, the tilt system so far isn't very important (though Lair might change that).

As for the Wiimote-Chuck, it's just got a few niggles I can't get my head over. I'd love a rechargable pack from Nintendo but I also don't like that the Mote/Chuck are attached as well as the the way this motion sensitivy is implemented in some games. FPS games suffer quite badly and as a more recent example, Wii Spidy 3 is just horrible...

But that's just me

Of all the controllers I've ever used, including the Wii, I'd have to say the XBOX 360 is the one to beat. I really have enjoyed using mine on my PC.

had to vote for the Wii

I've never liked what M$ have done with their controllers, the PS are pretty good (not as good as the N64 controller though), but the Wii just kicks completely.

of the three choices, i'd say the 360 controller

.

but of the choices not given, i'd say the xbox (original xbox) s-controller, and the N64 controller have been by far the best controllers ever made IMO.

Wii for me. Out of the 3 the Wii get's kudos for innovation, and sheer fun factor. Mind you, I think that most of the "sheer fun" has as much to do with the games that make use of the controller (and nunchuk) as the controller itself is fun to use. In Zelda you hold the remote in one hand for the sword, and the nunchuk in the other for the shield and special moves, while in Paper Mario you hold the remote sideways as if it's a classic controller, shaking it to wake up, fire a fireball, or what not. Oh.. and let's not forget Kororinpa: Marble Mania or Mercury Meltdown. Playing either of these games is like playing the old wood tilting games, trying to get the piece of mercury or metal marble across the room by tilting the controller any which way you can.

2nd place would be the Xbox 360 controller just for it's improvements over the Xbox S Controller (an already great controller), and versatility. That being that it's usable on both the 360 and the PC. Some games automatically see and fully use the 360 controller buttons, and games like Tomb Raider Legend, for instance, use the exact same button layout for both the 360 and PC versions too (so if you are used to playing it on the 360, and switch to the PC version, you don't have to relearn button controls).

well since a gamecube controller isn't in the list, have to go with 360.

the GC? that thing was the one of the worst! it's so small and uncomfortable to hold and even use!!!!

Agreed, it was horrible. My favorite of all time would be the genisis, the n64 and the xbox 360 (closely followed by the PS2)

niceguyrichy · May 6, 2007, 12:53 PM

I hated the GC controller when it came out first, but I have to admit that it grew on me, it's not all that bad. I still don't understand why they completely abandoned the N64 design though, that was one of the best controllers ever
