I think Nintendo blows both Sony & Microsoft at getting those type of controllers right. Sony's PS controllers have the unfortunate effect of causing blisters with its rigid/abrasive d-pad for some more intense games (Mega Man X6 comes off the top of my head) - heck, I've even got a blister once from the d-pad from playing an RPG! The analog sticks are also in a strange location for the PS controllers when it comes to FPSs.
Microsoft's...the d-pad is just atrocious.
What Nintendo does right is get the combination of location of control inputs right and their soft, but responsive, d-pad. Game selection is another issue, but controller-wise, I haven't seen anyone beat Nintendo at yet.
