Actually the GC controller recieved the best general review of all the next gen. controllers. It's got an excellent design whereas the xbox controller is too big for the japanese (the console too, some were making jokes of using it for a coffee table

). The xbox controller is a good example of bad design, tiny buttons and a flimsy analogue stick. Not good.
The original PS1 pad (no sticks or vibration) was a great pad, it was light, sat well in your hands and you never got finger ache from using it, the analogue pad by comparison was crap.
If anyone in the UK reads
EDGE (a highly respected games magazine) they might have seen a review of the GC. The guy reviewing it said something along the lines of 'the pad is so comfortable and easy to use that sometimes you forget it's there'.
Sounds good to me.
