[PPOTW] Which system has the best controller?

[Arm73]

So Nintendo fan boys what do you have to say to this, found this on IGN.

Terrible just terrible Nintendo.

If you check the link that you posted yourself...

UPDATE: Nintendo WILL stream Super Smash Bros. Melee at Evo 2013 after all. In an update to his original post, Shoryuken and Evo founder Tom Cannon has said that the publisher has changed its mind.
"We will be restoring the original stream and tournament schedules. Obviously this is a huge (relief) for all of us here and we're thrilled that the world will get to see the best Smash players fight it out this weekend. Thanks to everyone online who supported both Evo and Smash."

You know what's terrible ? Frigging haters and whiners like you all over the internet.
Get a life dude.

N64's controller did not exist.

I must admit, always wanted to get myself one of these

but never got around to it.
(Don't know if they were really any good, but seemed like a good concept.)

While it had some flaws (bad D-pad and secondary analog stick) I must say the GC controller is the best darn controller I've ever tried.
The Wii U pro controller is somewhat interesting and feels really good but it does not feel as good as the GC controller did.

Ok I am going to try to say this as nicely as I can. When I posted that link to that article (check the time when I posted it) Nintendo just banned the stream of that tournament obviously a couple of hours latter it was reversed and I am glad that that they did it. I am no Nintendo hater in fact I have owned every single Nintendo console since Super Nintendo minus the WiiU because at the moment there are not enough good games. The WiiU controller is a mess its more like a tablet then a controller. Gamecube should be number 1. So stop with the Nintendo hater crap.

One of these came into the retro game shop I used to work at earlier this year. It would've been a cool controller, except for one fatal flaw: You had to hold it at this bizarre, unintuitive crooked angle for the buttons and analog stick to be "straight." It felt really uncomfortable for me to do that, so I kept doing stuff like moving diagonal up/left when I meant to move purely forward on the control stick, and other similar stuff. :\

Pretty much a no brainer. 360 controller.

Unless your hands are small. A friend of mine doesn't like it and I believe that was her reason.

Buut for a guy of moderate size, it's the perfect controller. Fantastically weighted and perfectly proportioned. Crap Dpad but who the hell needs a dpad anyway.
No idea what the xbone controller is like so I can't judge if its better or not.

I still play Street Fighter with a d-pad. That's the main reason I loved the Play Station controllers. But as you said, the 360 controller is much better all around.

I disagree. I have big hands and if I play fot longer periods my vrist starts to hurt for some reason. The ps3 controller lays more relaxed in my hands. At least for me but hey, everyone have different opinions and different hands.

I've noticed this myself. The 360 controller tends to cramp up my fingers due to the way the grips shape against them, but I have no such problem with the PS3 controller.

Just to contrast in addition to the suspect sticks I have to hold my middle fingers below the buttons on the Playstation controller for it to feel any kind of nice in my hands, I would love to be able to have fingers on each button but it is the most unnatural feeling if I do. Three hours of that and I might as well have a thumb, a forefinger and pain.
