I have both, but generally only use the wired one on my PC.

When I do use it on my 360 though, it seems to have much better/stronger rumble than my wireless one.

This thread is like asking why the NES failed. (Hint, it didn't.)

I use the wired as my primary controller. Also, I have young kids, but them tripping on the wires is not an issue because the disconnect works great.

I like wired... most of the time I'm looking where I put my Wiimote or 360 controller after a long night... with a wire I can trace them back...

Because you can't conveniently hide it from your parents in your pants while you play rumble-intensive games.
