READ THE FRICKIN OP BEFORE POSTING SOME CONSOLE WAR JUNK!!!
So I've noticed something very strange and I feel the need to point out my findings: People who think symmetric sticks are better tend to be playstation fans and people who think asymmetric sticks tend to be xbox fans. Shocking, isn't it?
Well in just one month the whole world of video games is changing. Before that I wanted to log people's opinions about this very interesting topic. Once people have had time to fully experience next gen controllers, I'll be revisiting this thread.
So basically just post which stick placement you prefer, and then explain if that's just a personal opinion or a concrete law of ergonomics. No need to post which team you prefer since for 99% of the posters here it's blatantly obvious. Then feel free to explain why other posters opinions are wrong.
Here's the list.
