Yes yes, I'm aware most phone chargers can do it (though their cables are short, too!), but when you compare the INCLUDED solutions, both the Xbox One and Wii U fare much better. The Xbox One gets 20 hours on AAs as it is, and the Wii U included an incredibly lengthy AC adapter (and cradle for 32GB owners). 
In other words, I know I can throw money at the problem, but compared to out-of-the-box situations for the other two, it's kind of a shame, lol

So it's okay to throw money at aa batteries? 7 hours is more than enough, I get about 10. Get you a 15 dollar charge cradle and call it a day. Really tired of people blowing this thing out of proportion.
My game pad last about 4 hours. Way shorter than the dualshock 4.

Every household that can afford an Xbox One has AA batteries, and with 20 hours per set, you're not "throwing money" at AA batteries. Really tired of people blowing this thing out of proportion. 
All sarcastically delivered facts aside, I said it earlier but you might have missed it: out of the box, the PS4 is easily in the worst situation. The Wii U comes with a substantially long AC adapter to charge the Gamepad. I naturally prefer to play without cables like everyone else, so I got an extended life battery.
The Xbox One gets 20 hours per AA set, and most techie types such as myself own rechargeable batteries as it is. I eventually bought the official battery pack for the Xbox One controller because it came with a super long charging cable, and I wanted to be prepared for longer gaming sessions with the extra 5 hours.
So instead of assuming you think I'm here trash talking the DS4, recognize that I will clearly be deciding on a solution (which seems to be a larger capacity battery). However, out of the box, it's in the worst possible overall scenario as the other two have much more ameccable means/conditions of initially dealing with battery life.
