So it isn't a common complaint that the 360 D pad is crap? Quite possible the worst one ever in the history of gaming. Or the batter compartment gets in the way. Or that it has battery compartment at all? Or the thumb stick placement isn't right? Or any other number of things that the opposite side might find wrong with it? 

 

The d pad alone is enough to knock it out of the running for any change it ever had at being considered the best.


Yeah the only complaint i ever hear is the Dpad and xbox fans dont sit there and lie about it either.  It also hasnt stopped both Nintendo and Sony from becoming more like the X360 controller this gen. Dont over exagerate about every little thing ok?

If you want some pretty good evidence on what's wrong with a controller, just look at what's changed in the successor. For the 360 the main one are the d-pad and the battery compartment. The rest of the controller is practically the same.

Also how has Sony became more like the 360 controller? Only thing really is the triggers and sticks not being fully concave anymore.

As stated before people will admit the dpad needed improvement but the overall design and feel has been praised from the beginning.  This is why other companies are taking notice with the shape, the arch, the triggers, etc.  Honestly people would have been upset if they changed one of the most praised controllers too much.  I included.
