Five reasons why Microsoft just doesn't get it - 360 Wiimote idea

Also, this controller has the same amount of buttons as the Wii-mote. So there goes that argument.

At least in the mockup, the button placement doesn't suck as much ass as it does on the WiiMote.

As much as I love the Wii and the WiiMote, the industrial design of the thing is pretty terrible. It was made to do too much in too many configurations. Nearly dislocating your f***ing thumb just to hit the "2" button is ridiculous. Unfortunately, given the nature of modern games, many require use of every button on the WiiMote, which really brings out the flaws in the controller.

Footnote: Before I get blasted for saying anything negative about the Holy Grail that is Nintendo, I hate pretty much every controller ever made except for the 360. That one only mildly annoys me. If you want me to get really negative, just bring up the Dreamcast controller and its carpal tunnel-inducing wrist angles. Stupid piece of shit.

I hated the Dreamcast controller, but some people out there loved it... Wonder if they can still type like normal.

But yeah, the 360 controller is so full of win, so I don't see how they could mess up this... If it's true.

Midgets. Midgets and people with abnormally small hands. Those are the people who liked the Dreamcast controller.

And you know what they say about people with small hands... 

They own small gloves?
