x360

Quote:

The L2 and R2 triggers are analog and feel quite nice. There's a new central button that has the PlayStation logo on it. It doesn't seem to be functional, but it seems like a likely spot for some sort of "home" or "menu' button.

Wii

Quote:

There are motion-sensing gyroscopes inside the controller that will detect tilting as well as raising and lowering. We get the feeling that wii've seen this in another upcoming console, but we'll save that discussion for message boards or something. Warhawk is one of the games that supports the tilt sensor, and it feels surprisingly tight and easy to use. Flying the plane by tilting the controller is very intuitive.

No rumble feature either.

no rumble is understandable the contoler probly weighs a lot and if it doesn't then they probloy don't want it ti interfear with the gyro. It's good they copied ideas that why your getting the best of the wii and the best of the xbox 360 in one system.

Well, they actually lost their lawsuit with immersion, who owns the patent for that feature. The wii has rumble and gyros.

Let me just add, they didnt even do a good job at "copying" nintendo. Now anyone who says microsoft + nintendo = Sony is dead wrong. They did a horrible job at copying. The PS3 controller is far inferior from the Wii. Its like they just said.. hey lets half-assed copy Nintendo.

In reaction to the poor response to Sony's PS3 controller design, they've unveiled their latest design which looks, well, like a Playstation controller. That's not all though, as they've appeared to have taken an idea from their rival, Nintendo.
"Well done Sony. You have managed to show you have no creativity what-so-ever and, when it comes to gaming, all you know is hardware. Today Sony revealed it's "new" final version of the PS3 controller. Looks exactly like the PS2 controller doesn't it? Instead of redesigning the controller, they simply went back to the original but they threw in an extra gimmick; the controller senses 3D movement

im so glad they went back to the normal controllers those really are some of the best setups out there.. now i just have to hope theres a way to get an xbox controller onto the system for racing and FPS games.. all other games the PS controller wins .. imp and nintendo has not had a descent controller since the SNES imo.

I love the GCN and N64 controller. And im excited about the upcoming Wii control scheme, especially after hearing about Legend of Zelda: Twilight princess on the Wii.. The control scheme using the new controller is amazing imo.

I have had both playstations(used to be a DEDICATED fanboy until the delayed their ps3) and I LOVED the dual shock 2! Since getting the x360, I love that controller much more. It feels much better in my giant palms and the analog triggers are awesome. I think the new sony controller will be great tho.

They actually used the feature from Kirby Tilt'n Tumble. A Gameboy Color game. Link: http://revolution.ign.com/articles/705/705870p1.html
