How can anyone like the position of the dualshock analogs? I grew up with the ps1 but then was bought an original xbox and even the duke controller with 8 year old hands was superior.

I always preferred the xbox controllers for shooters, but that was really only cause I liked the triggers more. From what I hear, they aren't bad on the ps4 though.

The offset vs symmetrical stick argument is dumb to me. No, the xbox sticks are NOT "more natural" somehow nor are they "the correct spot". You people just have a preference because you got too used the the xbox controllers for that reason and that's it. Nobody ever holding a PS controller properly EVER had to worry about hitting their fingers or hands together when playing.

I'll go for the DS4 seeing as its made for people with normal sized hands. Microsoft refuse to fix the stick placement on their controller too.

Obviously_Right
The off-set stick placement of the xbox controller is its single, best characteristic...

.....lol.... the essence of non ergonomic right there, not just grasping the controller and it conforming to your hands but having to hold the controller the "correct way". If what you said was correct Sony wouldnt have enlongated the controller and spaced the thumb sticks further apart.

lol.

"On the right side of the pad, the 8-bit precision analogue face buttons of the last controller are swapped out for digital versions, largely due to their lack of practical use in games,"

love that part about the ps3 to ps4.

They made the DS4 bigger so I guess it won't fit your baby hands anymore :(

My problem with the dualshock has always been that the analog sticks are far too close to each other, and it doesn't help when they're concave and slippery.

The new controller looks to be a little bit wider, and the sticks are convex now, so that problem should go away.

 

The Xbox One controller still looks better though.

NOOOOOOOOO, my own preference must be validated further!

The Xbox One controller is made of a type of plastic that gives your hands arthritis, leading to discomfort. There. Objective fact.
