Nintendo's D pad owns all. so Wii D pad > Ps3 D pad > Xbox 360 D pad.

Really? The Xbox D-pad is HORRBLE, they probably didn't want to pay for the use of Sony's and Nintendo's D-pad ideas.

I dare you to get 10 consecutive fatalities in a Mortal Kombat game :P or even 3

 The Wii's D-pad is too small.  The size works well on the DS but it's awkward on Wii.

Why are a couple people saying both suck? The PS3's D-Pad seems fine to me.

If the 360s d-pad is anything like the original XBox one, then it is horrid... the PS3 one is useable... are probably pretty good for fighting games I suppose with the seperated bits (although do fighting games use diagonal a lot?)

I wish all d-pads were like the one on the N64. (the shape of the button, not the position of it)

Sega Gen. = best d-pad ever!

For a fighting game at least

Wii's.

The 360's D-Pad absolutely blows. The PS3's is far better.


The Analog sticks on the 360 however, I think are better then the PS3s for certain games.

Your kidding right?

The MegaDrive d-pad was terrible.... possibly more so than the X-box one.
Too, loose being the main problem, it had more "play" in it than a 5 year old N64 control stick ("play" being as if it had worn down)

I can't comment on the supposed "king" of d-pads... the Saturn... but if it is anything like the Megadrives then I would say it is way overhyped on here.
