I'll never understand why people like their joysticks diagonal from eachother.
muscle memory.
In my case, I find the controller actually easier to grip with diagonally opposed sticks. When they're together as on the Playstation, I feel as though my thumbs are going to collide and I subconsciously reduce my movement range to avoid it. Then again, I don't like the build of the PS controller either as its much too narrow and sharp for my larger hands.
Then there's the very small range of motion on the analog triggers...
So yeah I'm sure a lot of it is habituation but damned if the PS3 controller doesn't feel like it's just gonna shoot out of my hands like a wet bar of soap...
I've got the enormous spider hands but the PS2 controller is still the second best to the N64. Hey, at least I'm not one of those freaks who thinks the Dreamcast controller is the best.
The original XBOX controllers were perfect in my opinion with the one exception that the white and black buttons should be changed to shoulder buttons as on the 360. The size, shape, heft, were all great for me.
(and I swear the analogs were more responsive on the XBOX 1 than on the 360.)
Just got a letter from my publisher. Looks like Quartile will be getting a license extension and they want to know if I have any more game designs for publication.
That's sweet. It's always awesome when something you created is given the heads up for production.
Re: Xbox hueg controllers, I can't stand the PS2/3 controllers. I used the originals on the first playstation. The one with no sticks, and then the Dual Shock. They were ok but then once the box came out, I couldn't ever go back.
I bought a PS3 and ended up selling it at a pretty hefty loss about a month later. I tried a few XBOX-alike controllers but all had some dealbreaker issue or another.
I really prefer Sony's dashboard if only because it's not riddled with ads. I'm pretty fucking tired of launching my XBOX 360 to go put on some Dora the Explorer for my 4 year old, only to have a screen full of large horror movie/show/whatever ads pop up all over the screen.
Yes, there's a few tedious ways to block the ads, but I shouldn't have to resort to those.

You can pop and swap this guy.

That is the primary reason I never owned a PS2/3

I made a lot more money per copy when I was self publishing but with a license deal I don't have to do anything.
Sure, there's lots of variables, but which has been better for you personally?
