While Nintendo can be commended for their innovations in previous controller designs, I for one didn't particularly care for the GC controller all that much. They are vulnerable to some degree if the controller winds up being too gimmicky for the average user.
One of the guys at work said the same thing. He said that it was surprisingly comfortable to hold and use, which is why he is actually looking forward to the PS3 controller.
Looks like the wings are larger than the PS3 one. Plus, theres that weird protuberance in the middle. Man, seeing it as a whole, it looks like some guy crotch :smt043
