Let's just get this out of the way. DualShock 3 > 360 controller. Fact.

[QUOTE="Spartan070"]TC Logic: 2012 Kia Rio >>> 1969 Boss Mustang It has better tech...Eddie-Vedder

Pretty much. Not seeing much more than that from this arguement.

Why do you think i'm a lem?

The argument is that though. People say they prefer the 360 pad and no amount of sixaxis, pressure buttons (which no one even makes use of) and talking about wireless (that was a strange one) and batteries will change that.

The only thing wrong with the 360 pad is the D-Pad. It has better triggers, better layout and better ergonomic design.

Guy 1. "yeah but the Kia has traction control"

Guy 2. "but no one wants to race with that"

Guy 1. "but it's still there"

By the way, the new muscle cars have nothing on the old ones, they look like cars for teenagers. The old ones had character :P.

Quantity and quality; the PlayStation controller has dominated generations of gaming and will continue as it's immortalized.

Long live the Dualshock

[QUOTE="Eddie-Vedder"] LOOOOL Lems are so delusional. The Dualshock would be the Mustang with some modern day features, so it's more like a 2012 Mustang (Dualshock, modern controller with modern features inspired by a gaming controller classic), against some "new controller", made with cheap materials no good features, outdated ideas and no legacy.

I am not a lem, I have a PS1 and 2 and the pads are not comfortable adding redundant features to that doesn't change a lot. If you like it or are used to it fine.

Look until Sony grow a pair and deside to bring it up to date, this will always be the case.

Also you're going up against PC gamers here because the 360 pad design is based on PC gamer pads. They had that controller shape while we were playing last gen.

And millions prefer the 360 controller. Whats your point?

Ergonomically, the 360 controller is superior and thats fact. The dualshock has the better D-pad, however that holds little weight as its pretty much irrelevant this gen.

Compelling argument. I may have to rethink this.....

arkephonic

You do that. We will eagerly await your return.

so by TC logic

xbox>>>>gamecube>>>>>>>>>dreamcast>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ps2

and

Saturn/n64>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ps1

and DS>>>>>>>>>KB/M

[QUOTE="almasdeathchild"]

[QUOTE="arkephonic"]

Lol, pride? I don't care about the PS3 controller in the slightest. KB/M is the best controller of all time. I'm just making contributions to System Wars, this is why these forums exist. But when people suddenly see something they don't want to see or hear, they're quick to say that I shouldn't compare systems and that it's dumb to compare systems, when that is the entire point of this forum. It's called, "System Wars".

You can't make regular threads here.

arkephonic

scratch that 8 PAGES

D-pads are serious business.

The Dualshock is factually superior. It's a fact. Nobody cares about your personal preference lems.

Eddie-Vedder

Let's get this out of the way. The PS3 controller is sized for women, children and feminine men. Which are you?

I like the Xbox controller a bit more. It's more comfortable and I like the triggers more. It's really based on opinion. Wether you prefer DS3 or Xbox controller is totally up to gamer's preference.

The 360 controller is more comfortable to me - FACT

The TC is full of Sh!T - FACT.

I've probably been gaming longer than you've been alive, chump. I never said I had a problem using the sticks, I said the 360 game is more comfortable to me.heretrix

[QUOTE="heretrix"]

[QUOTE="PinnacleGamingP"] maybe because you have no sense of precision for using pressure sensitive analog sticks on the dualshock and constantly get owned online? yea button movements on the 360 controller analog sound more for beginners like you, they would feel "more comfortable"

DualShock 3 is > than 360 controller. IMO.

There you see? It's a prefrence. Your prefrence isn't everybody else's prefrence. I know, it's a crazy idea isn't it. What kind of world do we live in where people are allowed to have different opinions?

I think that if you're incapable of going from one pad to the next you have to be exceptionally stupid. Because both are pretty ****ing good for just about any genre save Fighters(because Arcade Sticks>pads) and FPS games(mouse and keyboard you consolites). jg4xchamp

^^I agree with this ^^

Good answer!

I personally find PS3 controller one of the worst ever, 360 is my best

So, how is it better when controlling games with PS3 pad is a frustrating pain and with 360 is fluid and amazing ?

360 controller fails on so many levels.PinnacleGamingP

In its past form the dpad was the only problem. Now you don't have to worry about it as you are the controller.

Boom Boom...

Do you know why there aren't threads about how much better the 360 controller is? because everyone already knows it's a better controller, no matter what size your freaky hands are.

I'm not gonna lie, I just read all of the responses since I've been away, and I have yet to see 1 single person list 1 single valid advantage that the 360 controller has over the DualShock 3. The only 2 things I have seen are people saying they think the 360 controller is more comfortable, which is completely subjective and modified by individual bias, and the other being that people like the triggers more, which is also completely subjective modified by individual bias.

This far into the thread, no one has listed 1 single objective advantage that the 360 controller has over the DualShock 3.

The Dualshock 3 has all of the objective advantages.

• Better battery in the DualShock 3 (Lithium Ion) vs the 360 controller (Nickel Metal Hydride). The DualShock 3 battery also comes standard, not as a $20 add-on.

• Not only does the DualShock 3 come with a better battery as standard than the 360 controller aftermarket battery, but the DualShock 3 lithium ion battery also offers more playtime than the nickel metal hydride 360 controller's alternative.

• The charging cable for the DualShock 3 is a universal USB cable, whereas the 360 controller uses a proprietary cable.

• Sixaxis technology is in the DualShock 3 and completely absent in the 360 controller. The 360 controller also offers no alternative.

• All buttons on the DualShock 3 are analog/pressure sensitive. Triangle, Circle, Square, L1, R1, Select, Start, as well as the D-Pad are all analog/pressure sensitive. Every button on the 360 controller is digital, and lacks analog/pressure sensitivity, including the D-Pad.

• The DualShock 3 features finer analog sensitivity than the 360 controller, increased to 10-bit precision from the 8-bit precision of the 360 controller. The DualShock 3 controller also uses both analog and digital signals simultaneously at all times during gameplay, while the 360 controller does not. 8-bit analog precision technology that the 360 controller uses is very dated, and was used in last generation controllers.

• The Bluetooth wireless technology used in the DualShock 3 is newer, more expensive, and more advanced than the proprietary wireless 2.4GHz protocol used for the 360 controller. Bluetooth also eliminates interference which would otherwise be troublesome when using the 360's alternative.

• The D-Pad on the DualShock 3 works, while the D-Pad on the 360 controller does not work.

I'd say it is also worth mentioning that the DualShock 3 is a cooler name than Xbox 360 controller. The 360 controller just can't catch a break, can it?

So, can anyone list me an objective advantage that the 360 controller has over the DualShock 3? Because all I've seen so far has been just a bunch of subjective, biased opinions from people who probably don't even have a PS3. Where are the objective arguments? Things like comfort which are entirely subjective are useless arguments because that's all in the eye of the beholder. Just as many people think the PS3 controller is more comfortable, and comfort is all a matter of opinion which is heavily swayed by individual preference and bias.

I'll come back in an hour or 2 and see if anyone has contributed a single objective advantage for the 360 controller, which if it hasn't happened yet, I doubt it will ever happen.

Oh, wait, don't go. Your indispensable.

meh don't really care,

The 360 controller feels way better, but I play better with a PS3 controller.
