something i have noticed

i know this is kind of random, but i have noticed that only nintendo has changed it's controller shape. microsoft and sony have kept the same general shape and design. i'm not saying that this is a bad thing, i'm just wondering why microsoft and sony haven't changed anything something i have noticed
A few reasons.

1) When you first change your controller to something that is at first as ridiculous sounding as a remote shaped object, people will laugh at you.

2) Sony and Microsoft are afraid of being laughed at for changing their controller to a remote

3) It's a risk. It might work, it might not. With Nintendo, I guess you could say it paid off. It scares off some developers, but it invites some developers (too bad most of them are shovel ware though)

4) If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

5) The type of games that Microsoft and Sony think their customers will like, are better suited to traditional game pads. The Wii does support traditional controllers though (GC and Classic).

6) There's probably more reasons.something i have noticed

and its less work
Sony tried to change their shape... to that boomerang thing. And everyone screamed, cause it really was the stupidest thing ever. So they up and went back to the old shape. The PS2/PS3 controller still feel kind of wrong to me though. I like the gamcube controller, and really like the xbox controller. And the Wii is its own thing.
I agree with the PS3 controller it feels too light to me when i play my buddys i think im gonna snap it in half. Xbox controller FTW
Keep in mind, it's Playstation 3 and XBox 360. The first Playstation and the first XBox systems both had basically the same controller.If the Wii were the Gamecube 2, the controller shape would probably remain nearly the same as the first Gamecube, that's my guess.The Wii is a brand new system, and the other 2 consoles are like sequels.

But it is broke.
This topic would have been better in System Wars.
