I'll call BS on that and assume that's just your own opinion and not the industry's.  I don't care for these controller wars, but if you think about it, the Dualshock1-3 is the best since it's the same since PS1 with hundreds of millions people using that controller style.  Why did Sony keep that style if it wasn't working?

I know there are many games that say its too small, but was Sony smart and design the size of the Dualshock to fit average hands.  A while back, my niece couldn't play 360 with her dad cause the controller was too big for her, so she's been playing Playstation with me ever since.  Don't get me started with the original Xbox controller lol.

The best controller in the gaming industry is the one that majory of people use and you can't deny that there's alot more Dualshock controllers out there.

My 1 year old cannot grip DS3 also. Are you kidding me? X360 controller and DS3 are almost if not same size.

Original Xbox controller also had an optional small controller.

Inform yourself buddy.

There's a lot more Toyotas in the world than Ferraris. Just saying according to your analogy.

Isnt (or wasn't) Toyata like the #1 car company in the world? ....Not sure what you're getting at.  

Toyota's #1 because alot of people find it to be the best car company, resulting it to sell alot.  

Dualshock's #1 because alot of people find it to be the best controller,  resulting it to sell alot.

If you can tell me how the 360 controller is the best in the gaming industry, statistics and all, and actually prove me wrong then i'll be happy to take my words back.

Ok now you're just being ridiculous.  No 1 year old baby actually plays video games! My niece that time was like 7 years old.  LOL they are not the same size. As well, its also the placement of the buttons to where you grip the controller. A few millimeters makes a difference in button layout/analog layout.  

But I see you're just trolling now by mentioning a 1yr old baby in the converstation.  So i'll just stop.  Nice to know never to take anything Goatseye says seriously ever again.

I'll go with PS4 as I never owned an Xbox console, but if they can show something I really like I might consider buying one when the price is lower. Consoles in Argentina are a serious investment... they are VERY expensive :(


PS4 is region free. You can get someone to ship you one for cheap cheap isn't it?

I will anyways wait and I don't buy a next Gen console at launch. I will wait 2 years and look whos having the better price and better exclusive line up than. It makes not that many sense for me to buy a console at launch, the first one or two years are anyways always dry, the good games need time and after 2 years the price and the bundlings are way better.

Yeah that is what I will be doing as either console will have sky high prices here XD. I have a friend that usually travels to the US for work so I will be asking him :)

Price is the reason I am not buying at launch. No way is that shit worth $500 to me. They need a $300 Kinect-free version for me to jump in before Titanfall gets here.

Both from a consumer coice point of view and from a gamers pint of view MS are definatly winning. More exclusives at launch, christmas and next year. I still wonder WTF apart from Multiplatform games people will buy for PS4.

After KZ3 was terrible KZ4 and it being a shooter isnt helping Sony at all.

Seriously asking, are you joking? Your post and sig is bordering on parody


No at all.

Whats to joke about. Opt in option for Xbox One owners for old features or used games like last gen.

Far superior launch day games and more of them. Better releases at xmas. Better Spring and sumer releases. 

PS4 isnt looking good at the moment at launch apart from price.


You know,you could hype the xbox up without constantly saying it's better then the PS4, though i doubt the thought ever crossed your mind

I think xbox will have a tough sell on Kinect 2.0 as the justification for the higher price. I might have missed it but MS hasnt really shown any new Kinect games have they? Kinect moved units but wasn't really received well everyone I know with one likes it at first than never uses much. They basically havent released any really good software for it except Dance Central which sales have gone down with each release. MS has not show how much better the new Kinect is in terms of less lag and accuracy. What is the incentive to upgrade from a 360 with Kinect already... Ryse? They are going to have to do better than that.
