Technically the PS3/PS3 & Xbox 360/Xbox One controllers are just the same controller with slightly different designs (don't know if I would of had an option for them in the poll but oh well lol). I voted for Xbox 360 controller but I perfer the wired one, it lighter, don't need batteries and with it's flat back it must be better for ergonomics.

For all like 5 games where it matters.

The D-Pad on the 360 is fine when it's used for like inventory and basic navigation, just not as the sole control method like in platformers and fighters.

ok... so "the best controller" is the one with the crappiest dpad
makes sense

Well I would expect the PS3/PS3 controller to be the same.

lol at people suggesting the 360 controller... worst d-pad ever

There's nothing worse than the Wiimote d-pad. I had to take it apart and put pieces of paper between the rubber and the buttons.

And... times i've used the 360 dpad = 1, by accident

Good thing I don't like fighting games.

I picked the PS3, since that was the first controller out of all of those options (other than Other), the Wii is confusing at first, and the PS3s is pretty much basic and straight forward

I voted "other".

It is a well known *fact* that the Sega Saturn model 2 pad is, without doubt, the greatest game pad ever created :teach:

Carry on.

Ok come on fan boys lets be realistic. As much as you may hate Microsoft you have to admit that they did a really good job on the Xbox 360 controller minus the d-pad. I am a Sony/Nintendo owner. Never owned a Xbox360 but I do own a 360 controller that I use for emulation and it does a really good job.

PS2.
I think that it's unfair to include the Original Xbox and leave out the PS1/2! :glare:
This is my opinion, so no hate.

Unless you are going to include the very original PS1 pad (no sticks), in which case you are very wrong, or found that the sixaxis or slightly more sensitive buttons did it for you, in which case you are probably still wrong but not half as wrong as the PS1 no sticks wrong, then they are the same thing.

As for the saturn I am not really seeing it. Though being a somewhat tarted up megadrive pad I can see it having its fans. I will have to put in some proper time before calling it though.

The Xbox 360 is comfy but as a dude who mostly plays fighting games the D-Pad is the most atrocious thing in existence.

The GC controller is amazing because it's like the only analog stick ever that works well with fighting games and other fast/complex motions, the buttons and analog triggers are really good (kinda wish they released a traditional ABXY version to use with non-GC games though), and they're ridiculously durable.

Shoutouts to the PS Vita. As a 3DS owner the buttons and sticks are my favorite of any console and handheld I've tried. If the game libraries were switched around or identical I'd buy one in an instant haha

The original Xbox "controller S" is absolutely great.
I think i prefer it to the Xbox 360 controller.

The controller of Xbox One looks very nice.
I can't say for sure, but i believe the Xbox One controller will turn out to be the best console controller ever made.
