Really? I find they don't have enough.
True, many games don't use that many buttons but you'll find that buttons that need pressing all the time will only be placed on the 3 or 4 buttons where you would normally find them.
The PSX2 pad is the best with it having two similarly placed analogue sticks and a symettrically balanced pad.
Shoulder buttons are always useful for toggling things on and off or for strafing.
This makes playing first person shooters and obscure style games (such as smash tv style, one to move and one to shoot) a breeze.
The gamecube and XBox are just crappy in comparison.
