Gamepro ran a test of the wireless PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360 controllers. As you can see from the chart the Xbox 360 kicked ass with the Wii in second place.

Filed this under “WHY?”. Having personally owned a Sega Master System and later wanting to kick myself in the nuts for getting it instead of a NES (which I later got) I will say that overall the games were not all that great.
