In contradiction to most people here, it seems, I would say the SIXAXIS is my favourite controller, the lightness makes it nicer to use, and it's wireless, also the triggers are a lot better than the L2/R2 buttons that sometimes didn't work at all, or got stuck down.
I would say my least favourite controller is probably either the original xBox Controller, man that thing was huge! Or the N64 controller, maybe it was because it looked hideous, or maybe because whenever I played it I had no idea how to hold/use it, either way, I've never particularly liked it.
I can't comment on either the WiiMote/Nunchuck/Classic controller, as I have yet to use them, but I do think they look verys good, as Nintendo have gone for iPod clean look.
But yeah, keyboard and mouse is also very good, although I would say I prefer using a wireless mouse, because I always found the wire annoying. |
I agree with everything you say apart from keyboord, I only use my computer for RTSs, so I dont know what they are like in comparison to PS controllers |
I mainly use my PC for RTS aswell, as I'm a big fan of it, but I have played BF:1942, for instance, on PC, and it's so much easier to get headshots with a keyboard and mouse than on a console! Overall, it's just easier to be more accurate, than trying to aim with analogue sticks on the controller (in FPS). I think a good example of this is when you use the browser on the PS3 (it's probs same with Wii aswell), but you can use the D-pad to jump to each link, without having to control the cursor, however, if you do control the cursor with the analogue sticks, it's much harder than it would be with a mouse. However, in BF:1942 you can also control planes and vehicles, but that is a lot harder than on consoles, so overall, PC=FPS/RTS, Console=Everything else control wise.

Actually, the Wii Remote is great for the menus (though you can use the Classic Controller for menus) and shooters (RE4 shows that). I'm actually as accurate with my Wii Remote as I am with a mouse and keyboard and that's even playing sitting in a huge bean bag type thing with my remote hand resting on my lap and my other hand holding the nunchuck resting behind my head. It's just so comfortable. The only reason why I rate the 360 above the Wii Remote is because I have still yet to see a game with great camera controls. I'm really hoping Metroid will fix this, but I'll have to wait and see.
I'm still not sure how great the Wii Remote would work for RTS games, but I'm actually going to guess it would be bad only because of lack of buttons (every controller suffers from that). In order to be good at an RTS you need to know the keyboard shortcuts and do things quickly. Anyways, end off topic.
