[QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"][QUOTE="OreoMilkshake"]Xbone controller uses AA batteries so it's a piece of shit.Chozofication

So the fact its a better designed controller means its shit because it needs batteries? TBH I'd far rather have batteries I can replace instantly rather than having to recharge batteries that run out.

You haven't even held either one.

the dualshock 4 looks nearly perfect, but the ergonomics of the other are in question.  Unless the grips are like cradels and the asymmetric sticks feel natural, it's crap.

Not saying the Xbox controller won't be perfect too, you just can't be sure.

You haven't held either controller, so how the hell do you know? :lol: you can't be sure about the DS4 either. I'll review them both once I get both systems. Too bad Cows won't be able to do that unless they run to Gamestop or Best Buy and try the XB1 controller on their kiosks. :lol: :P

[QUOTE="XxR3m1xInHDn3D"][QUOTE="campzor"]well dualshock 2 > Original xbox controller Dualshock 3 > 360 controller only makes sense that the trend will continue.blackace

If the DS3 is so great then why are they changing so much? I've just been playing Kingdom Hearts remix on the PS3 and my god everything other than the d-pad is awful when compared to the 360 controller

LMAO!! No.

XBOX 360 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>DS3

I've used them both for years. The DS3 is a mess. It wasn't even a DS3 when it launched as it didn't even have rumble. :lol: :roll:

Yes the DS2 was better then the original XBox controller. That beastly thing was made for football and basketball player's hands.

The XBox S controller was = to DS2 however. The d-pad was still crap however.

Dreamcast controler >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>DS2.

dS3 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> xbox 360

fact. I use both since i play with the 360 one on my pc and am i glad the ds4 is getting support for windows.

I've always preferred the dualshock controllers, so I'm a bit worried about the changes for 4.

I do prefer DS 3 but I won't say DS3>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>xbox 360 mainly because DS 3 had so many flaws too First, the R2 and L2 trigger, it's so awful and my finger keep getting slipped if I played too much Second, the analog while good because it's symmetrical, the distance is not far enough so there's a dead zone Of course judging from Dualshock 4 they already fixed it, so although I can't say DS 3>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>xbox 360 I can say DS4 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Xbox one

I'm almost certain the Xbox controller will be better given Xbox controllers have always been pretty awesome. I'm really liking the improvements Microsoft has made to the new one.

The general layout of the Playstation controlller to me is just wrong - so they'll never have the better controller until they ditch the fundemental design. Which they won't do because long time Sony fans have become used to the inferior design. 

While the Xbox controller in each gen has some problems (rounded buttons, D-pad), on the whole they were pretty good controllers. The One controller looks like it'd be the definitive standard controller.

This is coming from a Nintendo guy, so I don't have particular bias towards either company here.

trugs26

The only problem with the PS controller (being the DS3 to be specific) is the lack of actual concave triggers and concave analog sticks. 

Overall, the buttons are perfectly symetrical and so are the analog sticks. D-pads are fine.

My only issue with the DS3 was the size, and the triggers. the DS4 fixed all that and then some. The DS4 is looking like its even biger then the xbone controller.

The only thing I wished the DS4 had was the trigger rumble that xbone controller has. Maybe they can add those in down the line?

Im looking forward to trying out the DS4.Im happy they went with inverted thumb sticks and made it larger. The DS have always been too small for my preference.

Better dpad, less deadzone on the sticks, better face buttons, better shoulder buttons. They are changing the controller to entice whining 360 gamers.

Geez, I feel almost alone on preferring the dualshock controller over the xbox controller.  I prefer the symmetrical analog placement and softer, flatter buttons.  I also like how the triggers are wider on the Dualshock for better comfort.  I will admit that i bought the snapon triggers for my DS3 and it made the controller a billion times more comfortable.

DS4 = co-developed by Sony, 1st party devs, and Bungie. XB1 = co-developed by MS throwing money at random people who knows nothing about gaming.

Most first hand opinions i have heard on both controllers dictate that they are preety much the same now, however in my own opinion the better controller is my hands, it somehow seem to adjust to whatever it needs to adjust to, its only online here i see people complain about controllers. All i ever did was play the games, the controllers were not even something i considered an issue, Arcades, FamCom, Nes, Snes, Megadrive, Atari, Keyboard/Mouse, PSone, PS2, PS3, Xbox Duke, Xbox 360, WiiU e.t.c, all these controllers seem to work just fine

Many xboners are going to be disappointed this holiday season when they find out how downgraded the xbone controller is compared to the 360 controller. The DS4 is the 360 controller of next-gen. Feel the inferiority, xboners. :lol:

"For me, I chose Dualshock 4 simply because I don't like assymetrical analog placement..."

ihsanqueen

This is exactly why most gamers DO prefer the X1/360 controller, assymetrical analogs.

Don't you feel a pang of guilt out there in the pastures by having to use the 360 to make your argument?

I'm happy to say that the Dualshock 4 definitely looks like it will be a huge improvement over the piece of crap that was the previous Dualshock controllers. Maybe this will be the first Playstation console that I do not have to buy a 3rd party controller for. It still has a problem with the analog stick being in the wrong position though, so I don't think it will be better than the Xbox controller which was already almost perfect on the 360 except for the d-pad and now they are even improving the d-pad.

At a glance, I'd say the Xbone controller. I've never liked the dual shock design. Buuut, since you put the Wii U controller on the poll, I picked that. It's crazy comfortable.

Based on this gen I would have said X1, but after all the positive comments I've heard I'm wondering if the PS4 will have the best controller.

I'm really impressed with how the XB1 controller utilizes new force feedback settings throughtout the entire controller for a more immersive experience. That, plus its superior ergonomics and completely overhauled D-pad make it the choice for me.

Its been confirmed many times that the xbox controllers are far superior to anything else on the market.

Anyone that says different is a fanboy in denial.

Cows:  PS3 controller the best. 

Sony:  Due to complaints about the dual shock 3 controller, we've decided to make multiple changes to design.  We apologize for the Dual Shock 3 but please be excited for the Dual Shock 4

Thanks for helping me laugh.

Lol... Even I laughed at it and I'm a PS fanboy.

As for me, not having held the controllers personally yet, I say DS4 looks better overall. And thank god Sony finally fixed it because I think I would have switched to Xbox if they didn't.

I think the DS4 is going to be better for gaming and comfort because of the analogue placement and the lack of hard edges.  However, I think the XBone controller blows it out of the water in terms of aesthetics.  The Xbone controller looks like it is designed in the same style as the actual console whereas the DS4 looks like it was designed separately without any attention to style.
