well at lest one guy was enjoying his PS2
>>
>>320168608
you can pop out that xbox logo in the middle and hide your weed in there, there's practically infinite space in there

the dudes who made this controller were fucking stoners
>>
>>320168608
Awesome controller. I have average hands and it felt fine. Only Faggots and 8 year Olds had issues with it. Also great console.
>>
>>320168608
Thinking that they should make the best console controller ever. Which they did.

Still hands down the best controller I have ever used or held. It felt tailor made in my hands.
>>
>>320168608
>implying I'm a girl or a small handed babydick/manlet loser
It was comfy, deal with it.

They were probably triming to mirror the marketing stratagy of the original NES system as it was redesigned for selling in the west. The Japenese NES was thought to not be bulky and hardy enough to appeal to weasterners so it was resigned. They might have though making larger controllers would appeal in the same manor but there is a huge difference between a large console that you never pick up and a fucking mammoth controller you have to hold while playing.

Just an idea. Could also be the the fucks at microsoft couldn't figure out how to fit rumblers inside a controller at first and had to make it huge as a result.
>>
>>320168608
It wasn't as bad as the N64 controller. Nostalgiafags can bite my ass.
>>
>>320168839
when i was 8 i had no issues with that controller

honestly ill never understand the memes surrounding it

This. It was basically dreamcast v1.5. And the 360 dreamcast 2.

About all those N64 rape doujins

>>320168608
They weren't, they just wanted in.
The 360 is where they started taking it seriously, seems the One is where they go back to fucking up.

About creating the best controller we ever had?
>>
>>320169352
they put the analogue stick in the middle since they weren't sure it was going to take off

if it didn't then it's just a normal controller with a prong in the middle - they'd probably have made new controllers without the stick

The Duke was the fucking shit.

Only manlets hated that controller lel.

>>320169608

lol, I love the N64 but that controller was fucking trash.
>>
>>320169550
>not knowing the history of the Xbox
After the dreamcast was cancelled Microsoft picked up the team responsible for creating the dreamcast and had them finish the OG Xbox that was nearly done. Then they went on to make the 360. That is why the 360 (in its original release incarnation) is sometimes considered the spiritual successor to the dreamcast.
>>
>>320169843

Because muh Halo exploded in popularity and basically made Xbox the dudebro and normiefag console of choice and proceeded to rape the industry in the shithole it is now, they didn't really get much choice in the matter.
>>
>>320169659
If Sony hadn't have done it right, it wouldn't have.

Can you imagine modern controllers without analog sticks? This probably would have been the reality we'd be in if Sony hadn't have fixed their fuckup.

playstation has literally the worst analog sticks ever made. worse than a third party n64 controller.

Are you? You haven't even got a way to prove me wrong, nigger.
>>
>>320169871
Pretty low
>>
>>320170603
Do you actually believe that? N64 analog sticks are probably some of the cheapest pieces of hardware Nintendo ever produced. I've experienced more broken ones in my time than working, never seen a broken Playstation analog stick though.

Also my point was they got the placement right, so even if what I just pointed out weren't the case, it would still be light years better just because of the fact alone that they got controller layout right, unlike Nintendo.
>>
>>320170105

Oh I know the history, but to me, it's teh games that matter and the Xbox library isn't anything like Dreamcast's in that respect.

I'm glad I never owned a PS1, those things were awful and I can't imagine anything worse.
