Here's a piccy of the two controllers next to each other.

Man, that Xbox thing is ugly.

Why do they both have an analogue stick on the right hand side, below the buttons?

I think the XBox one looks more comfortable, as it looks slightly like the DC pad, which I really liked, although I know a lot of people don't.


Designing the pad must be the hardest part of releasing a console.

Everyone has different sized and shaped hands. Everyone will like different styles of controller.

Also, I would have thought it would be better for developers if the different controllers at least had the same number of buttons, then ports wourld be easier, as it's already been said.

If you look at the picture, they both have the same buttons more or less. The same goes for the PS2 pad.

This should make ports between consoles a little easier.
