Why Nintendo (and MS)?

Do you do such a moronic decision to make your controllers white?!

I play just for a short period of time and my controller turns brownish.

It's not that it's dirtier than a black/gray controller, it's just that you see all the filth and it is disgusting.
The problem only escalates for many of scandinavians that are addicted to snus (Snus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) >.<

Stupidest design decision ever if you ask me to make things that you are going to use with your hands in white (same goes for you Apple!)

I thought Wii-motes come with the covers now. Also, I have a white Dual Shock 3 for my PS3. I use a white grip on my tennis racquet. I mean, the white is not really hard to clean.

I'd rather play with a yellow Wiimote.

White is my 2nd or 3rd favorite color, brushed aluminum is my favorite material for gadgets to be made of, and so I completely disagree with you. I see nothing wrong with white gadgets, I like all my gadgets white.

That's silly, yes dirt can show up more on white but the Wiimote is hardly an issue. I'm far more concerned about the stupid decision to put the little grove around the both the directional pad and buttons on the DS that a dirt magnet. It literally scrapes all the dirt off your fingers on to it. I have to keep scraping it out far more than any other handheld or controller I've owned.
