Rough launch aside, would you say the PlayStation 3 eventually became the best console of the 7th gen?

The controller is what lets it down for me; the 360 pad and the Wiimote + Nunchuk were just more comfortable and in the latter's case for featured and versatile.

Still, it had an incredibly strong library of games and was a powerhouse for its time serving up some of the biggest "wow" moments of its generation, so I can overlook its flaws.

I wouldn't say Wii + Nunchuck were that much more comfortable but surprisingly nice for what they were.

As a standard controller, 360 has a much better shape than Sixaxis/DS3. I feel like Sony perfected their controller shape with DualShock 4. Shoot, I'd probably take the shape of DualSense over PS1-PS3 controllers. 

Sony really lacked a cohesive controller identity during the generation compared to the other 2.

Wii had the remote, and add-ons to it that allowed tons of gameplay and control opportunties.

360 had a comfortable controller and later added Kinect as a hands-free peripheral. 

PS3 had Sixaxis, DS3, and PlayStation Move. PS Move felt like it was trying to emulate Wii, for sure. 

I found the Wiimote + Nunchuk combo very comfortable personally, in that they were rounded in a way that fit very well in my hands and felt good to hold/use.

Dualshock 4/Dualsense were a huge step up for Sony, yeah, those feel great to use. The OG Dualshock design was fine in the PS1 era but by the PS3 it felt like a relic.
