READ THE FRICKIN OP BEFORE POSTING SOME CONSOLE WAR JUNK!!!

            So I've noticed something very strange and I feel the need to point out my findings: People who think symmetric sticks are better tend to be playstation fans and people who think asymmetric sticks tend to be xbox fans. Shocking, isn't it?

Well in just one month the whole world of video games is changing. Before that I wanted to log people's opinions about this very interesting topic. Once people have had time to fully experience next gen controllers, I'll be revisiting this thread.

So basically just post which stick placement you prefer, and then explain if that's just a personal opinion or a concrete law of ergonomics. No need to post which team you prefer since for 99% of the posters here it's blatantly obvious. Then feel free to explain why other posters opinions are wrong.

Here's the list.

If you give any justification for one placement being better, you are in the "correct way" camp.

So I prefer symmetrical. Everyone has their own opinions but ergonomics and logic support my view.

I would wait until a sample of 10000 gamers are studied to show overall which they would prefer more before jumping to conclusions which is better.

The correct answer has always been that it depends on the kind of game you're playing. Maybe you should specify in the OP.

Symmetrical is better unless you have big buttons.

DS3 has some horrible sticks

Symmetrical for me because shockingly my hands are symmetrical as well.

WiiU does it best

that gamecube controller though...

I have to pick asymmetrical sticks

I prefer symmetrical. Not really because of comfort, but because I feel like I coordinate my movements (left stick) with looking (right stick). For me, it feels like walking with one foot with high heels, and the other with sneakers. It just feels off balancing.

Of course, I could probably just get used to it.

Only works cause it has big buttons.

I prefer the WiiU Pro Controller.
