They could change the design a bit but I think they should keep it roughly the same size. There are some that would like it bigger but clearly they're only thinking about themselves and not a vast majority of gamers.....kids. My niece cant play with her dad on his 360 cause the controller's too big for her but she comes and plays on my PS3 n Wii. Dont even get me started with the original Xbox controller lol XD

No, you just got the facts wrong, studies show (that I will not bother looking) that the vast majority of gamers are 35 plus. Quite a bit older than myself. The industry has been around long enough that most gamers are adults hence why mature rated games are more popular. If your going to think about the children they just need multiple sizes. Might be a good business idea as families would buy more controllers.

Well then I would like to see these facts cause I honestly cant see that majority of the +90 million Wii owners and +150 million DS owners are +35 of age. There's a reason why there's also a ton of kids games in stores and not just focusing on the +35.
I also just said that kids gamers are "a" vast major of gamers not meaning they're the only vast majority. If kid gamers is even 30% of video game sales then you better believe its best to market for the all-round rather than to focus on one.
If we're talking only PS3 i may agree with you but then again Sony isnt aiming for the +35. This is all just my perspective so please dont take this seriously.

Dude you using assumptions not facts, which is just a not an logical way to make a point (believe me i am putting this nicely because of how wrong your response is). Kids are not just 5-10 there is a long range of ages.

Definition of "vast": of very great size or proportions. If kid gamers are %30 and young adults is %30 then the rest of the 40% are a mix of others than what is the vast? I was just using 30% as an example, for all we know it could be more. So technically me using the word vast isnt completely wrong.
I may be assuming, but seeing how there's a tonnnn of kids games in the market are you telling me that there's not really alot of kid gamers? Speaking of another thing, girl gamers; alot of girls dont have big hands either.
So to the make point of our discussion, how does increasing the size of a controller help gamers of ALL ages and sex overall?
Im not saying im right but that's how im seeing it unless you can change my perspective. Thanks for this debate tho its fun ^___^
As well i would like to see this article about the majority of gamers being +35, just cause without it your truth is just as good as mine.
