The controllers being large isn't a problem any more. MS even publically admitted including the large ones at launch was a mistake. Nintendo would have said something like "The people were so overwhelmed with the amazing power of the controller that they couldn't figure out how to use it properly". Yeah, that's probably an exxageration, but remember how they suger coated the problem with the N64 being hard to develop for?
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
