Okay, let me restate my point. When I discussed the Xbox Controller, I specifically said the Xbox "Controller S", NOT the original Xbox Controller. The original Xbox Controller was indeed very large and was hard to use, but the Controller S is the redesigned version.
The Controller S is redesigned to be smaller and more practical. The buttons on the Controller S are round, like the buttons on almost every other controller, and are spread out in the traditional "circular" pattern. The D-Pad on the Controller S is shaped more like the classic Nintendo D-Pad (like a "+").
Many of you have probably never used the Xbox Controller S, most of you probably used the original bulky Controller. Trust me, once you use the improved Controller S, you will hopefully begin to understand my opinions...

On a seperate bote, the GameCube Controller is the best controller ever created, except for one problem--the D-Pad is too small. Nintendo should have designed the GameCube Controller's D-Pad to be larger and easier to use.
