LOL: How the Playstation controller really NEVER changed

Before I even get into it all, let me say that I had NO idea that original Playstation was out in Japan in 1994. I didn’t get a U.S. issued one until like 1997; Japan is so ahead of us…

Okay, but this realization had me dying! I’ve always made the joke that the reason why I would ever choose Playstation 3 over XBOX was because the controller never really changed. I don’t know about you, but I LOVE the Playstation controller! Although I think XBOX games are more fun, Playstation always has a special place in my heart. LOL at them creating a system for the new millennium that can play Blu-ray CD’s but essentially sticking to the controller from 1994… If it’s not broken, don’t fix it, right?

So I think I have a very good video game background to make a comment on this issue. In reality if you look through the ages and actually try to define a company based on it’s controllers, I would give the award to Nintendo. From the original Nintendo (I’m beginning with the first commercial system) to the Wii, Nintendo has made all of their controllers unique but comfortable in their own way. They honestly had the best feel out of all the systems. Microsoft with the original X-Box made their controllers a bit too big for much of the gaming world and improved their design with the 360 and the updated X-Box controller… Now Sony… The controller design is good… But definately not perfect. One comment to make on this issue is the area in which the left joy stick and pad are located… Nintendo did this setup amazing with the Gamecube… Sony still has a very awkward feel associated with it… Just had to be a nerd for a bit, back to studying… And by the way being a nerd is cool

you’re right… Nintendo is definitely winning in the controller department, but when you consider OVERALL game selection, Playstation takes it… then given the fact that Playstation has a better game selection, that helps boost their controller design to one of the best. Nintendo games are made to be played on Nintendo controllers, and the same goes for Playstation… no?
