360 controller vs. PS3 controller

Hmm, I would say the 360 for shooters, and the PS3 controller for everything else, I had a PS2 and Gamecube last gen and I got used to the PS2 controller.crazy-player

Pretty much what this guy said except I owned every system last gen

PS3 Controller wins by default. No sixaxis for 360.djsifer01

ha thats one of the good things about the 360 >.> lol

But yeah still I like the ps3 controller better because the buttons feel nicer and less stiff the L1-l2 and R1-R2 go together better then the bumper and the triggers, and the D pad is better

The 360 controller is better for FPS games, and the triggers are a little better, but the D.Pad on the PS3 is WAY better and imo Sixaxis gives the DS3 the edge.

I find it shocking how horrible the D-pad on the 360 is, the rest of the controller is great but the d-pad is really really bad.

For me, the 360's D-pad is a little loose, but at the same time, I hate the Duelshock 3's triggers. The buttons felt so much better to me.Legendaryscmt

love both honostly although i think i enjoy the ps3s a tad more just because its incredibly light...

controller S on the original xbox is my overall fav though :)

I will say the 360 controller is ok for fps but ps3 controller excels at everything else. One thing though since the mouse/keyboard owns the 360 controller in fps. It seems kinda like the 360 controller is a jack of all trades controller. When I think of jack of all trades; I think of that co-worker who has had like 20 jobs and you've only had like 3 because you excel at what you do and have been working at your 3rd job for many many years.sh0vet

Fighters, rpg, platformers, etc.. You know the other games that have been done on the psx since like mid 90s. Other people have mentioned this in the thread.

You basically just asked me why I think a fast food place is unhealthy when we're standing in the place and I just stare blankly back and look at all the obese, coughing, about to have a heart attack people inside, etc...

I apologize I just didn't feel I had to explain I thought you just "knew." Surely you've played a playstation before it only came out in 95 the controllers worked for the same games back then why wouldn't they now.

any game that doesn't require the d-pad for solid gaming (like some fighting games) the PS3 has the better controller. For all other games that don't require precise dpad controls then 360.

If the 360 fixed it's dpad it would really make it king of controllers. Or if sony swapped its dpad and left stick positions, fixed the triggers so they felt more like a gun trigger, and made the stick a little more tight (less loose), and allowed you to swap out batteries it would be king.

The 360 controller is much better than the PS3's. The d-pad could use some work, but other than that, the controller is flawless and feels great in your hands, especially mine, which are exceptionally large. PS3's controllers are just too small for me, don't feel that comfortable in my hands, and I hate the lowered L2/R2 buttons. I so prefer the old Dualshock 2 controllers.atm0073

Thats odd, because I have really big hands, and find that the PS3 controller fits perfectly, whereas the 360 controller puts fingers at awkward angles. Its really just what your used to. There are two major faults on the 360 controller for me:

1. The analogue sticks are not in the same place either side, which is just stupid.

2. Its too close fitting on the hand, so any extended play time I find leads to sweaty palms. PS3 controller has all the buttons in the right places without having every part of your hand in contact with the controller. Much more comfortable!

PS3 Controller wins by default. No sixaxis for 360.djsifer01

How many games use sixaxis as a main feature, i can think of one, the supid rubber duck game that came out when the ps3 first came out. The sixaxis feels too light and made of flimsy cheap plastic and has no rumble feature, 360 controllers are more ergonomically designed and your less likley to get cramps in your thumbs. sony are releasing a messenger pad copy however it is to be put on the top of the controller meaning you have to stretch or move your hands to type on it, why diddnt they copy the 360's one exactly as it is much easier to type,

360 controller has a great desigh imo. PS3 controller is almost the same as the 1994 PSX one. It was a great controller for 90s standardsPAL360

and the 360 one is almost the same as the dreamcast one....It was a great design for failed consoles

What a mature argument ;)

Looks more like: "oh...media didnt like the boomerang and we dont have time to make a new controller! Lets pic the dualshock again and add the Xbox triggers and the Wii movement sensors"

I was mocking you, If somehting works the first time....why change it ...it seems to work for the COD franchise...and it seems to work for the Dualshock to...and yes the 360 is a copy of the dreamcast controller, the xbox was the spiritual successor to the dreamcast

Also, the ps3 was in development before the wii so they had motion sensors first the triggers arn't anything like 360 triggers

and if you say the ps3 controller stole xbox design then how the the 360 controller stealing the bumper design(L1+R1) So don't even go their

So by your logic, the original PSX controller was essentially the SNES controller with an extra shoulder button? Was the dual stick design simply sony's answer to the N64's analogue stick and c-pad?

i think the 360 controller is awkward..the ps3 controller is symmetrical.WutTimeIsIt

Im not saying that 360 controller is very inovative. Im saying that it is perfectly ergononic at leat for my hands ;)

Dualshock is good, but not that good nowadays imo. As i saied before it was great by the PSX times. After that lots of better controllers like the N64, Dreamcast and the smaller version the xbox one came out!

Shooters: 360 controller > PS3 controller

Everything else: PS3 controller > 360 controller

I prefer xbox 360 controller for shooter and racing game.

what are you talking about you argue with nonsense, and biasedness.....I never said the dualshock controller was the first to use it, they just made it big and popular since everything pretty much wants to be what the ps2 was and Im talking about the 2 shoulder buttons one about and one below what the play station controllers had, the 360 copied that with the bumpers

all the current gen controllers copied off something get over it its life...nothing is original

The Xbox 360 controller is currently my favorite of all time.

Shouldn't be hard to guess my choice based on that alone.

The 360 controller is so much better than the ergonomical mess that is the DS3 (except for the D-pad).

All these controllers yet they pale in comparison to a keyboard and mouse. The sheer amount of users of keyboards and mouse(s) in the business world and elsewhere; the keyboard/mouse must be comfy and easy to use or "fill in the blank I know you can." Game pads are useful for a couple of game genres and that's rpgs without fps elements, fighters, sport games, platformers. Its clear the playstion controller excels at these genres since it has for many years; many of these genres began (or began in 3d) on this very console. The playstation controller has worked for many years before the xbox was even created.
