LOL, I betting that most of the people here haven\'t even held the controller in real-life. I was at E3 second day, and I have average sized hands. The BOX controller is nice and comfy(more confortable than PS2 and GC due to it\'s size), but let me say this Japanese people living here in America might not like it, as they tend to have small hands(you know what that means-just joking), so I’m thinking that MS and third party will release smaller sized controller\'s.
See the Controller is not big, you guys have overlooked one important issue. The psx2 and GC controllers were designed for jap hands in mind, not Americans. Americans tend to have larger hands and larger ****, LOL. What pisses me off with the DC, and PS2 controller is that the dang thing is too small and tight. Obviously you guys have gotten used to it over many years of gamming, but I haven\'t.
MS came up with the design of the controller after ten of thousands of gamers input through 100\'s of hours of game testing. Now I bet if this was done in Japan, with Japanese people, than the controller would be alot smaller. Anyhow MS has a jap version of the XBOX controller. Also I never liked the black and white button placement on the XBOX controller, I was wondering why MS made them hard to reach. After doing some research it seems MS did this because those button are mostly for camera view, and other not so important game features.
Out of the PSX2, GC, and XBOX controller I found not one to be better than the other. They all have there up\'s and downs. IMO there is no such thing as the ultimate controller, if I had it my way each console would have 3 different controllers all designed for specific genres.
