Forums - Gaming Discussion - Why the PS4 controller is better than the Xbox One controller

I guess all those PS people who preferred the PS controller over Xbox because "it's too big for my hands" - will have to find a new reason since the DS4 is actually larger than the One's controller.

How about no

Wrong scale... DS4 is bigger.

DS4 is just wider and it makes it look longer because of the grips. There's much more room in between the left and right grip in comparison to the Xbox one controller which, in my opinion, makes it much easier to hold.



That Xbox One controller looks right.

Well there you go - looks like someone's found a reason already......

Very deceptive image. In terms of length, they're pretty much the same.



 

                          

 

convex...the tops of the DS3 are convex...*sigh*



The DS4 looks already beat up in those pictures. I doubt if it's better then the Xbox One controller.



I was able to use both controllers at Gamescom and to my surprise the Dualshock 4 just felt better. To those saying the sticks are in the wrong place: They moved the sticks up a tad and now they're way more comfortable to use. For the record: I'm a PS3 owner but I always thought the 360 controller was the better one.

It doesn't matter if they move it up down or sideways, as long as they are parrallel they are wrong.

A lot of these articles that claim DS4 is better than XB1 controller try to praise the 360 and criticize the DS3 to gain credibility. I'm not buying it. The issues with Dualshock were in the fundamental design and that hasn't changed.

The question of which controller is better was resolved as soon as images of xbox one controller appeared online and showed the same form factor as the 360 controller. I don't need to hold it in my hand to know that its better. The only real question is whether or not the dualshock is tolerable enough that I will be able to use it without buying an adaptor.
