And what does PS1 have? Crash(Sly weren't around just yet)... lets see who wins. Crash Vs SM64 + OOT + DK64 +MK64 + YI64 + BJK + BJT + etc.

Clear winner there...

No, it doesn't. You do not design a console to play *1* game, the controller has to support a variety of gameplay schemes, otherwise it's a poor controller. The N64 batarang is awkward and poorly thought out, which is why the design has been completely scrapped and is no longer used contemporarily, just like most failed controller designs. Even Super Mario 64 would arguably be more comfortably played with a dual analog setup, improving diagonal camera control.

IV played it with an Xbox 360 Controller and a N64 Controller, and if you asks me the N64 Controller suits it better however I can understand why peoples hate on to now, there come something better. There always does, take a look at the most comfortable controller today, the Wii U GamePad in 12 years it will feel weird because we will have something better that we used to. So in the end the N64 Controller was better then the PS1 at that time, but now were more used to the dualshock so well.

(...) take a look at the most comfortable controller today, the Wii U GamePad (...)

Super-questionable, I find the Wii U Gamepad's layout bizzare and I don't think it's the most comfortable controller this generation at all.

its my opinion. But it don't suprise me you don't agree, I guess you like the weird controller PS4 have more?

Have you used it? It's crazy-comfy, love the new triggers and the new analog sticks.

I'd also like to underline that I have a good reason to dislike the Wii U controller - the layout. I find the position of the right analog stick to be odd and somewhat counter-intuitive - I'd much rather have the function buttons on-top and the analog stick below since the foci of the right hand are the buttons so they should be on the privilged position. It almost feels like it's there only to make the controller look symmetrical, but I digress. The whole thing is also quite big and I can imagine it being cumbersome in certain gaming scenarios.

But as you said, this is all subjective. My point is that the dual analog setup became prevelent in gaming because it successfuly performed a variety of functions an analog stick and a D-Pad could not or did so poorly. Whether the Wii U Gamepad is the same level of revolution is up to debate, but I don't think so.

Foxi4 Agree except the Wii U gamepad vs Ps4 Gamepad part anyways, there is still a lot of improvements to do on controllers. And as always have a nice day

Oh yes, definitely. I'm not even saying that the PS4 pad is ideal - the D-Pad is improved, but it's still sectioned wheras they had it "right" on the PSVita. That, and the D-Pad is still on the privileged position on the top-left when most games use the left analog stick instead for control, which is a move forced by traditional, but it doesn't make it any less silly. That being said, after owning a PS3 for quite some time now, my thumbs have adapted to that layout (with great initial difficulty, but hey).

I actually like it a lot. It would feel really weird the other way IMO. In fact, I can't even think of an asymmetrical controller other than the N64 one (what a disaster that was).

The whole thing is also quite big and I can imagine it being cumbersome in certain gaming scenarios.

Does that mean you don't even own a Wii U?

As for the size of the controller, at first I didn't like it, but I really prefer it now and wish other systems would adapt their controllers to a similar manner. The size prevents hand cramps, and it's pretty light considering how big it is.

I plan on owning one in the future once it's cheap as dirt, right now I have issues finding anything that would validate its purchase before I get a PS4.

Maybe try one out for a decent amount of time before you decide that it's worthless, lol.

I haven't tried a PS4 yet so it wouldn't be fair of me to make a decision on it, but at an overview it looks like the best option for a main console.

I'm not saying that it's worthless, I just don't find it interesting enough to immediately go nuts for it after glancing over the features, the specs, the overall build, the library and the prospects for future games. They don't balance out with the amount of money I'd have to spend on it, so I'm going to wait till it's in a more approachable ballpark for me.

My experiences with the PS4 were also very brief, as in, I literally got to check out the controller and that's that, but I still find it to be a bigger priority for me. That being said, I have no plans of immediately buying it - that too has to fall in price before I throw my money at Sony's face.
