When it comes to nintendo, I've always have had to "get used" to whatever weird design they are using for every new console, they always have a bad first impression for me.

This is actually a positive thing for me, at least most of the time, as having a new controller helps a system to feel more fresh to me. Xbox/PS would appeal to me more I think if they were more innovative with their controllers instead of using the same basic design repeatedly.

I mean, I love the 360 pad for example but I still would like it if for example you had the option to split it, added gyro/IR, etc.
