The sony design definetely is better than Gamecubes in functionality, but the sticks could be in a better position and it could overall be a little bigger and more comfortable.

And, back on the new controller, I have no idea what Nintendo is going to try to pull off, but if it ends up messing up third party companies games by being a bad design, then you can kiss Nintendo's comeback goodbye.

Actually i honestly do think out of controllers sony has the best one. hands down. Why do you think its the most copied design out there? most third party controllers on PC are modeled after it. some look EXACTLY the same.

everyone has thier preference tho.

I understand where you get the bias comment tho. so i take no offence to that. Honestly, i dont get to defend sony often. only on this message board really. Normally im defending nintendo cuz they're they ones getting picked on more often. But i'd always think Sony has the best controller. i've thought about buying adapters to use my PS2 controller on my xbox and GC. Already use the adapter to use my PS2 controller on PC.

I personally think that the PS2 controller is the most comfortable. And I also think that the Gamecube controller was modelled after it. The only thing the GC controller did was switch the analog sticks position so that both analogs wouldn't sit in the middle. Look at it.. the d-pad is where the left analog stick would be on a PS2 controller.. and I really don't like it there.

I like how sony didn't NEED to change their controller to make games more functionable. When the PS2 first came out with the same controllers I was psyched because that meant you could use your old dual shock controllers instead of buying new ones to support multiplayer. Thats what I like about the PS2... almost everything about it supports back to it's predecessor. The controller was a success for the PSX and it stays that way for the PS2... its just too comfortable.

And out of Xbox and GC... I'd say the Xbox Logitech S is more comfortable...The GC controllers are just weird. The N64 controller was weird enough but it was a cool controller and wasn't that bad to get used to. But the GC controller....the button layout is too eradic, and has no linearity. Two shoulder buttons that are bigger than the controller, and one that feels like it isnt even a button sometimes. Then a big ass green button and a small ass red button with two angular X and Y buttons. With the big button in the middle, you lose focus quickly on the others... which was a bad idea. Don't get me wrong... Nintendo's controller success in my opinon lied with the SNES and the N64.... these cube controllers are just too weird.

The PS1/2 Controller was modeled after the SNES controller ;) and the SNES controller was partially modeled after the NES controller ;)
