Like the origional XBOX controllers...well, they sucked ass..but the smaller ones are way better, and a little more orgonized. I think Nintendo is just trying to be different with their controller styles. like the N64 had that 3-pronged controller thing, which was surprisingly comfortable to hold, and then the GC ones, well, IMO they are just too strange...

And i think the reason why the XBOX contollers were so big at first is because they were mainly supposed to be for older people (not kids, obviously), or maybe it was a ploy to make people buy extra controllers and spend more money when the smaller ones came out.


EDIT: ya...Nintendo made their biggest threat...Sony....

my guess would be Microsoft wanted to emulate the whole SIZE DOES MATTER issue when they launched xbox....

the xbox was huge at launch and didnt have a fan
the xbox controllers were huge at launch

so yeah.... they were going for that whole BIG thing.
