My understanding is that no first party controller (Sony, MS, Sega or Nintendo) uses hall effects.
AFAIK Sega did it twice on the Saturn and the Dreamcast controllers.. I think the problem grew over the time... Companies try to cheap out on parts as much as possible, try to limit the lifetime of said parts to about 2 years so people will have to buy new controllers...
