Completely agree with you on this. I really dislike that controller though I really like the GameCube controller.
That is not crazy at all. The Gamecube has two thumbsticks and ergonomic buttons that look weird, but are very comfortable. The only plus-sides to the Dreamcast controller is the VMU itself, which was way ahead of its time and was a victim of current technologies and the other plus was it had a better d-pad than the gamecube.
OTher than that it isn't that good.

I realised lately that the quality of the controller has a massive impact on the games that I buy.
I love basically all Nintendo controllers, and I buy a lot of games for all my Nintendo systems. But I'm a big Nintendo fan, so maybe that has something to do with it?
Or maybe not. My leats favourite Nintendo controller is the NES one. It's not that I don't like it (I do), but it's been improved on a lot. It's basically the Nintendo system I buy the least games for.
I'm also a fairly big Sega fan. I love their systems a lot, and I'm a massive fan of the Saturn and the 6 button Mega Drive controllers. I have quite large libraries for both of those systems. I find the Master System controller to be OK, and have a reasonable collection for the system, but I definitely seek out SMS games less frequently. I very rarely buy Dreamcast games and I really don't like the controller for that console.
I'm not a fan of the Dualshock because I think the analogue sticks are placed awfully. I don't buy a lot of stuff for PS2. I buy slightly more for PS1 because you use the d-pad more often. I buy a lot of stuff for PSP and Vita because you ca often use the d-pad too.
I basically never buy Xbox games, and it's not that I can't find anything I want. I could just buy Sega games for the system an be happy with my purchases. But that controller is so awful I never even consider buying games for the console.
True fact - I have owned 4 times as many unique Virtual Boy games as I own XBox games. On another note - I quite like the Virtual Boy controller.
My controller of choice for last generation was the 360 controller. Outside of the d-pad, it's got the right tightness on the analog sticks, the triggers feel good, and everything seems laid out in a sane manner.
I'm starting to cotton a little more to the Wii U Pro Controller, too. Just took some time to get used to the analog stick placement.

That wii u pro controller battery life!
On topic though I am moving to a new place next week and I am replacing my dreamcast with the GameCube for a while on my TV Stand and will finally beat skies of Arcadia! Is it strange that I have both versions and have only played it for about 5 hours? Shame on me!

I've gotten used to that, but it can feel a bit clunky sometimes depending on the game. I wrecked Super Mario 3D World using it. It's a lot better than it looks. I just wish the battery life were a bit better on it. I need to look at one of those higher-capacity batteries.
I agree regarding glossy surfaces. I'm not a big fan of fingerprint magnets. I mean, it looks great for all of what, a few minutes? All downhill from there.
