Best control panel set up for cabinet

I guess I never really understood why people are playing console games on their arcade games. It seems to me that if someone cared enough about authenticity enough to have a full sized arcade cabinet, they would prefer the authentic feel for console games as well.

i.e. a bag of chips, a 2 liter of soda, controller, sitting on a couch, and tv.

I suppose you can think of it as a kind of "Play Choice" expansion.. Though I've never been a fan of the playchoice systems.

Console games are a great addition to an arcade for when you want a little more depth.  Arcade games are designed to give you a quick blast of fun and take your money.  Console games can be played out over a period of weeks with save states.  Sometimes I want a blast of Outrun, other times I want to get a few stages further on ToeJam and Earl and save my game.

Console arcade ports however, I find them pretty pointless when I can fire up the real arcade version of a game!

thats my point...

I'll sit on the couch for a few weeks vs standing at a arcade game. The only practical way I see it making sense is to save space, but to me, it's too much of a compromise.

Other than Ape Escape, I can't think of any games that required analog. Usually it was just optional.
