With the choice of super consoles soon to be on offer, there's only one deciding factor for me - the controller! Since I'll be handling it for hours on end, I want to make sure that it's both
comfortable and functional. I used to think that the Saturn's controller felt ok. Then when I got
a PlayStation I discovered that I preferred the feel of its controller, plus it had more buttons! Then they brought out the dual-analogue version, then the dual-shock version which is ideal for driving games since you can have precise control over steering AND acceleration/braking. I've since tried some driving game or other on the Dreamcast, but on it's controller there was only one analogue stick for the steering and a couple of (what responded like digital) triggers for the accelerator and brake. As soon as I realised that, it was like, forget it! No dual analogue sticks, no purchase! I don't know what controllers the 'CFKAD' (console formerly known as Dolphin) will have, or even the X-Box, but I do know that the PS2's controller is a fully analogued-up version of the PSX's. So, until I see those other controllers, it's going to be a PS2 for me!
