[quote name='donssword']The PS2 controller does anything but suck.
If it is so terrible, why is every controller, from just about everyone other than Microsoft, emulate the basic form factor of Sony's controller?
Ergonomically, the form factor cannot, and has not been beat.
I'll tell u what, you keep an eye on ergonomic trends in game controllers, and be sure to let us know when another design overtakes the Sony design in the general market. Once all the PC controllers, and Nintendo's controllers, start looking less like Sony's, I'll be happy to listen to you.
And I'm not talking the RetroCON from Mad Catz...[/quote]
Ehh... You're aware that the PS2 controller was based off of the SNES controller, are you not? All sony did was add extra shoulder buttons, and eventually analog sticks (which weren't sony's innovation in the first place). Even the start and select buttons are in the exact same locations, even though "select" has been useless since the 80s. I could go on, but I think my point has been made. Sorry for getting off topic.
