Top 10 Sports Gaming Controllers of All Time

That Genesis controller NOW looks like a tank compared to the newer controllers. Holy plastic batman!

the Playstation controller is awesome. Nintendo 64 was weird at the time but revolutionary.

the 360 controller is still the best controller to ever be manufactured. The ps2/3 controllers are too small and i have small hands. The 360 controller is the right size and the perfect controller.

Hands down dreamcast has the best controller of all time. The button layout, thumb stick analog and the VMU. Picking your plays on the VMU for two player games was the best innovation at the time. Next gen needs a VMU.

I finally got one when I found a 360 style stick for the PS3. Now my thumb lays it in it's natural position. Before I found this stick I was about to pay over $200 for a customized PS3 guts in a 360 casing. I take my gaming seriously. In my opinion it shouldn't even be on this list. It's definitely the worst and most uncomfortable. The NES stick may bring back good memories but that doesn't mean it was great. The N64 stick was better than both of those other Nintendo sticks. Bond anyone. Out of the early systems that did not have analog control I'll take the Saturn. I really can't choose between the Dreamcast and the 360. They are 1 and 1a in my book.

See, I'm the total opposite. For me, the Playstation controller feels much more comfortable. I've never liked the placement of the left analog stick on the 360 controller. It just feels awkward for some reason. I guess it really just comes down to personal preference.

I remember playing the original NES Ice Hockey using the NES Max controller. It was just a so-so controller for most games. However, when I played Ice Hockey with it, I loved the precision of using the moveable button on the d-pad.

PS3 is best controller ever, not close. XBOX over PS3 is a joke. XBOX 360 controller is heavy and poorly constructed

How is " The Duke" not #1 ? easily the best controller ever made, now that was a mans controller.
