I get a lot of both of those game and I understand how the systems work. It is the same reason I don't like MMO RPGs or MUDS. I feel there is this immense lack of purpose.
    Morrowind doesnt have a lack of purpose. It just ain't linear and you have to forge your purpose on that game. Its like the real world.

    I generally prefer lists that aren't so inherently biased, be they intentionally ironic/sarcastic or not.

    In any event, I'm probably going to pick up a Revolution at some point, but that will be long after I've purchased a PS2. I have no real desire to purchase an Xbox 360, but if they make some decent games, I might do it.

    And just for fun, I'll go over the main reason why. This is based on the assumption that the systems will follow basically the same trend of game releases, although I admit that the numbers might be inflated with the next generation release I expect them to follow the same pattern.

    Number of Gamecube games I own:
    8

    Number of Playstation 1 games I own:
    12

    Number of Playstation 2 games I own:
    25

    Number of Xbox games I would theoretically own:
    2 or so

    And for the record,

    Number of Xbox 360 games I would theoretically own:
    0

    The biggest problem with the PS3 controller is that its curved. The Xbox controller actually had genuine problems. Ones a lot worse than the other.

    The original fat Xbox controller had problems. It's obvious that it sucked. The small revision of it, that became the standard, is easily superior to the dual-shock and on par with the GC controller in terms of comfort/ergonomics. I can't imagine playing Ninja Gaiden with anything besides an Xbox controller-S.

    Not only is it curved, the sheer dimensions of it would make my gigantic hands hurt. That and the Dpad still is the same lousy design as the PS1/2's dpad. If y ou play a game that requires alot of fast movement with the Dpad you'll tear up your thumb.

    eh heh, no. It wont. And the d-pad is perfect. They dont need to fix something thats not broken. The layout has no real flaws or problems as its simple and effective so Sonys using theyre brains and keeping it that way.

    Perfect for you, perhaps. Not necessarily perfect for others.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    Play agame that requires you to press directions on the dpad numourous times for a good hour or two. Your thumb (and probably your whole hand) will hurt. That's why my PS2 has 3rd party controllers with full Plus Shaped Dpads, not this stupid little 4 different buttons Dpad.

    You mean when the directions are one overall button? I've seen plenty of PS2 controllers with that adapted into them if thats what you're talking about. And I dont think its a big deal.

    No no no, I mean all of the buttons, not just one direction for long periods of time. Like a fighting game, or an action game like Devil May Cry.

    Alright, think I get what you mean but the playstations dpad is practically gone out of use in most games on the PS2 now with the analog controller. In most games it just gets used for camera angles. And even in games where I have needed to use it, it hasnt bothered me at all. My hand would be in as much pain as it would be in for hammering any buttons for an hour or so.

    I've used the d-pad a lot for Resident Evil Code Veronica, holding down foreward/up while shifting my thumb to left or right buttons has never caused me any pain. Someone needs to get thicker skin, I guess.

    I said fast games where you need to press directions on the dpad in all different directions. Take a game like Devil May Cry where you need to be quick with the dpad and you gotta press the dpad really fast to move around, dodge enemy attacks and such. A fighting game (use Dpads on these, not thumbsticks, trust me) can really chew up your thumb. I was playing Guilty Gear X for awhile with that and I devloped a huge blister on my thumb, then I got a third party controller with a plus shaped dpad and it never happened again.

    Probably because you have thin, pasty, malnourished skin.

    I've never had any joypad related finger injuries. But that may be due to having strange, padded fingers.
    Word/s.

    What can be so revolutionary about a controller? They fit in your hand, then have buttons you push. Is it because it's wireless? Hell, that's about as revolutionary as the NES, considering it also has wireless controllers.
