Xbox Live is going to be an even bigger part of Xbox Next (or whatever its final name will be), so I don't think wireless standard controllers are a good idea for it unless they include voice capability (while maintaining the other requirements I listed, of course). Of course, the same won't necessarily hold true for Nintendo's offering, which will probably still be targeted at a different market than the Xbox.

Yeah rumble blows, lose it. Admittedly the dualshock2 isn't as bad as the n64 days because its a bit more subtle, but the only time i would ever elect to use it was if its required for some game mechanic (like in OOT).
Of course it's a different case if u have a full steering wheel set up for a driving game.
