I despise all things Microsoft but the 360 and later controllers are excellent designs and are possibly the best standard-issue console controllers ever. I will die on this hill.

Sony's stubborn refusal to modify their basic controller shape/layout in the last 28 years isn't admirable and is not endearing them to people with good taste (i.e., me).

And yes, I am aware that I just declared myself willing to die on a hill while simultaneously criticizing Sony for dying on a hill.
