I have trouble tryin to do dual joysticks. Partly a design thing, partly an I'm clumsy as hell thing.

XBOX fixed the clunky problem with the type S. It is so far superior to other controllers, I don't se how anyone could be delude themselves into thinking the gamecube is better.

First off, about the clunky monster X-box controller... S controller fixed that. Secondly, wireless controllers are merely a gimic. That hardly makes the controller better. I know I don't play games in the bathroom let alone across a football field. And lastly, Gamecube has its controller issues too. Placement can be messed up for some games, lack of buttons for others, and crappy pad for certain games (ie SVCEO). But in the end, it's all about adaptation and preference. This is hardly a real issue.

Ps2's controller dominates gamecube, as does the ps2. It's simple but effective. the dualshock feature is very realistic, and you can use the analog sticks if you want to, but you don't HAVE to, which is a very versatile concept. The controller is not too light or heavy. Ps2's controller is by far the best.

Sony's backward compatibility idea was the reason why the controller didn't change with the console. The gamecube controller is similar to the PS2 except they moved some buttons around.

First off, the PS2 controller is a mere copy of the PS1 controller--which itself was somewhat a ripoff of the innovative Nintendo 64 controller. The PS2 dual shock is just a dull-as-dishwater two-stick controller with a built in rumble function. The X-Box controller, like its mother console, is a monster and extremely clunky--but I have to give credit where it is due--the colored buttons like quite cool and futuristic. On the other hand, the Nintendo GameCube controller is the best of the current generation. It is comfortable and packed to the gills with innovative features--a camera stick, digital clicks in the shoulder buttons for added control, and a unique button placement for easier play. One-upping the competition once more, Nintendo also released the WaveBird wireless controller, which can control flawlessly without the need for wires up to distances of 50 feet!
