That is, you hold onto a prong of the controller in your hand, while pulling back a finger to depress a button (or a lever, I suppose, in an actual gun's case)? Do you mean to tell me that you actually don't find the two designs similar enough that a player should find it most intuitive to use his index fingers on the triggers of a controller? I'll bet 99% of N64/Dreamcast players pulled the trigger buttons with their index fingers, instead of their middle fingers. Any time I've EVER seen a player hold/use an N64 controller, they've used their index fingers to pull the z-trigger.
Yes, and that's because they were positioned so that you would use your index fingers.
What on earth is wrong with you people. Did all of you watch the MS press conference? Maybe that has turned you dumb or something.
If a trigger were placed on a controller in a position that would be comfortable for the middle finger, it would work just fine. You would find that you're not actually that incompetent with your middle fingers, and would soon find a dozen different ways of using your other digits! It would be a revelation! I wish this for all of you; Smoke, beanjo, ABF.
