I also noticed the XBox 360 won the first round with regard to comparing the two controllers.

I find that pretty amazing, my girlfriend had major issues with the XBox 360 controller and not at all with the PS3 controller. Although I with my big hands can manage both controllers, I prefer the PS3 controller a lot (despite never owning a PS2, which was similar).

I find it funny so many people lacking a background in ergonomics (unlike me) somehow believe Microsoft got this right. But of course, the controller of the original XBox was more sucky.

Funny, because the PS2 controller was so repulsive to me that I didn't get into gaming until I finally bought an Xbox...even the original Xbox controllers (excluding the duke) are better than PS3 controllers. I find it funny that you would bring up ergonomics because it's very clear you are clueless on the subject.

You strike me as an engineer Mike B. do you know why? I work with them on a daily basis...and they seem to think they know it all...yet, so often they are wrong. You know why? Because they are detached from reality. It's the nature of the job, they work with drawings not the actually product. I suspect this is much the case with you. 

It's probably not the engineer being wrong, I would bet it is the user not understanding how to use things.
