PS2 - Best modern

I know a lot of people would classify PS2 as retro now days. I have a hard time classifying PS2 as retro, as I lived through its lifespan, hell, I have a hard time calling the N64 or even the Mega Drive retro! Ah man... Good memories! :D

Xbox 360 asides from the shitty d-pad and non pressure sensitive buttons.

Not on the list but the Wii U Pro controller would be #2 for me followed by Gamecube Wavebird. I hate that my hands are too big for the dual shock controllers.

Well, being that the Ps1/2/3 controllers are nearly identical, I'd call the long-standing PS controller design retro (and in need of overhaul IMO).

Not really for me. I honestly prefer the PS layout instead the Xbox layout for modern 3D games.

I was born to play videogames. We all were born to play videogames. My hands, our hands, can be accustomed to any type of controller from the bulky Original Xbox Duke controller to the flawless SNES controller. We are malleable. We are unbreakable

Really, whys that? I guess we'll be seeing something a little different with the PS4 controller. Its shaped differently while still resembling the older controllers.
