The Controller has a more versatile interface than the older SBs; handcuffing it to the past might make it more consistent with the others, but it doesn't take advantage of the expanded screen size and scrolling capability. The original sync design made perfect sense for the Controller; the new one makes synchronizing several players more laborious. Instead of being able to synchronize several players all at once, from the same screen, you have to flip-flop back and forth, changing players and going into and out of different menu screens. Making things more difficult and complicated on newer products solely to achieve a misguided notion of consistency with older, less versatile products, isn't exactly a step forward. There are other ways in which the operation of the Controller is not "consistent" with the Classic or SB1.
