XBOX VS Playstation comparision.

[justinlynch3]

Part 1: History.


Part 2: The Controller.


Part 3: The Cameras.


Part 4: The Marketing.


Part 5: The Hardware.



Seems to be a pretty fair comparison so far from what I see. Part 6 will be the launch titles, though I don't see that video released yet.

Not gonna watch all that crap, but if they don't conclude that the Xbox controller is superior in every possible way to the Sony controller, then they've failed utterly.

Well I myself disagree with that statement as I do generally prefer Sony's controller.

But the guy seems to be trying to keep things level as possible, though I believe he mentioned 360's controller being better for shooters, which I can agree with.

I just think it's a hell of a lot more terrible for fighters, analogs are spaced to far apart.

Edit: Plus the D-pad just sucks. lol

[Wo0dZz]

Xbox lost.

[BaneTheDestroyer]

Sony controllers have always been more appropriate for the games I play. I use the D-Pad more.

[WSS?]

If the game uses the D-Pad more, then yeah, Playstation is better. I tried to play Injustice on Xbox with the D-Pad and failed massively.

[Wo0dZz]

Everyone wants the D.....






D-Pad to work on Xbox controllers.

[justinlynch3]

360 controller has.

- Better analogs.
- Better triggers.

Playstation has.

- Better D-pad.
- Rechargeable built in battery.
- Motion controls (but not widely used, so it hardly even counts by rights).

The size and layout is subjective. I for one liked the smaller size and analogs close. Never had a issue holding it and the layout is what I'm most used to and what works best for me. However I fully understand people enjoying the XBOX design. I find it just hinders me in certain games (DBZ example) with the sticks so far apart.

[BaneTheDestroyer]

Sony has always been way more comfortable for me, but even then, it's probably because 90% of the game I play are based on the d-pad.

[justinlynch3]

Yea Raging Blast 2 was alright on 360, but I think I would of enjoyed it more on PS3 where I would have a shot a winning beam battles. I place my palm on both sticks to spin rapidly, I can go faster that way then using my thumbs. But 360 sticks are to far apart forcing me to use the thumb. I lost like every beam fight in that game. lmao.

And all I say is thank god I got Mortal Kombat for PS3, cause I use the D-pad a lot on that game. Would of been horrid on 360 playing that.

[wildknight]

The "motion control" on the PS controller should count AGAINST PS, not for it. It was a terrible idea, delivered terribly.

I'm sorry, but I have to laugh at the notion that the sticks are "too far apart" on the 360. That's clearly a matter of muscle memory. The ergonomics studies have all concluded the same thing; the analogs on the PS3 controller are not only poorly placed for good gaming because they're too close together and the left analog is too far from the natural position of the thumb... the placement actually contributes to the fact that the PS3 controller (in fact, all of the PS controllers, historically), are terrible for your hands and forearms.

You know why the D-pad on the XBox controller sucks? Because the D-Pad is a thing of the past.

A lot of reviewers I been listening have been saying the PS4 controller is the best controller they ever used. Take into account I see these reviews before the XB1 release.

[charliebucketsgranpa]

I don't know which I prefer honestly. Probably Playstation because I'm more used to it. However, I could see myself getting very friendly with the XBOX controller too.

To be honest the XBOX controller is the better design.

I'd rather take into account who the reviewers were. My guess; the vast majority of them are Sony fanboys.

How you guys can not be bothered by the fact that a video game is actually shortening the useful lifespan of your hands for the sole reason that the company has been too lazy to redesign the thing despite knowing how bad they were for people since the PS2 is beyond me.

[BaneTheDestroyer]

I assume you don't play some fighting games?

Best example of what I'm about to say is MK or Injustice (which I know you don't like MK):

you have to combinations for special attacks" down, up, x. It's a lot easier doing this with a d-pad. If you don't, you're bound to accidentally move the analog stick a tad bit to the left instead of up and it will not connect as well for the special attacks. I like the analog sticks better, but I prefer having the more appropriate option of having the D-Pad for all of my games seeing as how it's better for most of the games I play. The 360 controller has never felt comfortable to me in any way.

Again.. unless you don't have human hands, I can only conclude that this is due to bias, not an honest appraisal of the controllers. The XBox controller is ergonomic. The PS controller was designed by people who have never seen a human hand as far as I can tell (and this is backed up by several studies over the past 2 1/2 decades...).

No, it's based off from comfortableness. I'm not bias about this because I like both systems (even though I admittedly do like sony better). The controller just fits my needs and uses better.

[setokaiba]

I think the N64 controller is worse than Sony design. I never had a too much problem with Sony's controller design besides after holding it for about an hour your hand begins to hurt(at least mine does) and the analogs are too close together.

The big reasons why the 360 controller is so loved in because the analog don't touch and it feels natural to hold.

[wildknight]

... yeah, say what you want. It's bias unless someone can show me how a controller that has been proven to actually damage your hands could be considered "better" by any logical means.
