I don't know why. I just played Halo 3 over a friends house this weekend and i think the analog stick on the 360 controller is sloppy for aiming compared to the PS3 one.

They're analog sticks. They function equally and neither perform better than the other.

The only thing that I like better about the 360 controller is that it has a depression in the analog stick so pressing down on it repeatedly doesn't start to hurt your thumb.

360 controller is more comfortable in the hand imo.
PS2, err I mean PS3 controller is just the same controller it was when it got invented 10 years ago.
Modification here, modification there... Still, it feels old and not really that great anymore.

I find the Xbox 360 is the best over all controller, the main fault is the D-pad.

they are different. the PS3 analog is more sensitive than the 360 analog.

Whenever I use a Playstation for FPS, my thumbs bump into eachother. Playstation blows when it comes to FPS. All the good FPSs are on 360 so the developers have spoken.

That is why I don't like the PS3 controller. The analogs feels too loose. I feel as though I have control with the 360 controller. I just stopped playing FPS on the PS console all together because of it.

Don't use Halo 3 as your benchmark game for FPS controls. You'll just be dissapointed. It's not like you actually have to aim in Halo anyways.

You must not have picked up the sniper in Halo 3. Heck you must not have played the game at all to make such a dumb statement. Is their auto aim yes, but it was severly tone down compared to Halo2. Halo 3 mad merealise how much I have to improve my shooting.

i prefer the 360 controller it fits in my hands better but i have no problems at all playing fps with the ps controller, imo there's a far bigger difference between controllers and kb/m that if you get used to one controller you're pretty much set

The PS3 controller is just so ungodly awkward. My hand is cramping up just thinking about it. I won't pass up a great shooter just because it's on PS3, but I'd take the Batarang over that piece of trash Sixaxis.

Well, to balance out all this praise of the 360 controller, I'll put my vote towards the Dualshock.

In all honestly, it's all personal taste and anyone who says differently is just a fanboy.

I played R6V and it took forever to get far on the 360 but it was so much easier on the PS3 and I actualy beat it in about 2 weeks while I own the 360 version for almost 2 months. I am not sure if the controller is to blame though:lol:

The 360 controller is way too clumsy. I can never figure out how to make that thing work with any game let alone an FPS.

Maybe it's because I've gotten used to it, but the DualShock is what works best for me. Keyboard an mouse works fine as well, but I haven't played PC shooters in a long time, so...

its cause u use the ps controller more, if u used them just as much they'd feel the same or 360 one better just because the way it fits into your hand..its made to match your hand not to make your hand match it....

The placement of the left thumbstick is what makes Xbox 360's controller better for FPS games than that of the PS3. The thumbstick is placed in the most natural position for the left thumb, while the PS3 has the D-pad in that position.

Wow. You know i see a lot of thelike, "older generations" talkingbadabout my generation (born between 1980 and 1988) and how we'reso dumb and spoiled and we have nothing tobe proud of and we can't do anything right, ever...and I used to think they were just old a-holes who were jealous of how good we have it and ... whatever... but after realizing that this many kids haveactuallythought about a video game controller so much as to form some sort of (seemingly) meaningful and rational opinion... again,about a video game controller ... i gotta say... i agree with the old people.

Seriously,like that poll that says half of thepeopleattending a UScollege can't find New York on a map. It's F**King sad.

The controllers?! Are you kidding?!!? They're like, the exact, same,thing. Instead of a circle you have a "B"... instead of the sticks next to each other, you have one farther away.

Get back to work.

all console shooters have auto aim. even the wii with its precise controls has auto aim. without console fps's would be near imposible to play. But even with auto aim you still need a good controller. I prefer the 360 for shooters but the ps3 controller is prety comfartable for adventure games. i like the face buttons more on the ps3 controller.

i cannot use the ps3 thumbsticks, it feels so bubbly and loose and loopy. it's hard to describe, feels like its gonna fall out from under my thumb, and it's wierd the way it's bubbled outward instead of caved inward. i can't do it.

look at my profile

If you don't have to be so good at aiming why have you only won 110 games out of the 302 games you played... and your only level 15. If you didn't have to be good at aiming you would be level 50 right now.
