| ilovetogame said: man they really need to change up the design. the n64 controller was way better than the playstation controller and while nintendo and microsoft have been improving controller design since then sony has straight up stagnated. 3 systems all using the same controller with very slight changes (some of which are crappy changes like bad motion control and no rumble) when the controller was decent at best even when it first came out. just sad sony. but of course there is gonna be copying of other companies when they bring some great new thing to the industry. but i think the point is that nintendo brings all the innovation and sony is the always the one copying and never innovating. their controller is the perfect example of this and thats why sony's controller is the same as it was over 12 years ago and had a tacked on very limited and crappy version on nintendo's motion controls and didn't even have rumble which nintendo brought in in the first place. nintendo's controller are always designed to fit the hand much better than any other controller on the market and sony just refuses to improve their controller. its just sad. the only way in which sony has ever pushed ahead is in the game format (cd's, dvd's, blu-ray). and that is the one way in which nintendo has always been behind with cartridges and mini-discs. They are fine now cuz they don't need anything more than normal dvd's since they don't need to worry about the space consumption of hd, but the past two generation they were clearly behind when it came to game format. and since we are on the topic of innovation, i'll give credit to microsoft for its online and the introduction of the harddrive as well as really stepping up to the challenge of creating a piece of hardware that is even less reliable that the ps1 and ps2. thats a hard thing to do, but they accomplished it with flying colors. |
Sigh....
