What control issues are you talking about? What I don't like about CoD on PS3 is shooting with the R1 button instead of the trigger R2 button. Just feels wrong. That's the only control issue I can imagine. The 360 controller is really well designed for shooters, I mean the RT and LT buttons are trigger buttons, shaped like the trigger to a gun.

Sales don't mean a great game at all, they just mean an acessable game with a broad audience, and proper hype. Mario Kart is a fun as hell game, but the reason it sells so well is because everyone can play it and have fun. Not just gamers too, girls, parents, young children, anyone. Call of Duty is a pretty simplistic shooter, and so is Halo. Not to mention these games established themselves early on, so all they have to do to gain sales is release a new game with minor tweaks every now and then. Games like Killzone and Battlefield have to define themselves, which is hard when people don't easily switch over franchises.

In the end, everyone has their preferences. This is why you should judge a game by reviews, and your own experience in store, at a friends, or in a demo. I mean I think Metroid Prime 3 is the best shooter this generation, and it's sales don't back that up.


I'm sorry but I think PS3 is better for tps and I like COD better on PS3. The 360 controller is a bit bulky and It feels really weird when you play a game like Gears. Untill MW2 I used to be all multiplat shooting games only on 360 but then I switched over to the PS3 because I find the controlls more soft and comfartable.

Why are TPS's better on the PS3? I find the controls in Gears of War more intuitive then Uncharted, and with the biger trigger buttons, Lost Planet feels a bit better on the 360. Also for some reason on PS3, I always hit the home button when I want to press select.

Everyone has their own preferences, the Playstation controller is too small IMO, I like a controller which I can hold in both palms, not just the fingertips. I think the Gamceube controller is the best to hold, but the c-analog stick doesn't feel responsive enough. I like deep, pressure sensitive trigger buttons, and that could be why shooters are more accepted on 360.

Also like I said, I really don't like CoD on PS3 because you shoot with the R1, and not the trigger button. It defeats the purpose of a trigger button to me, and throwing a grenade just feels right when you can hear your controller click.


Well my hands are pretty big but at the same thime skinny. I find the 360 contols a bit akward at times which prevents me from playing my 360 that much. BTW I think Gears controlls are a bit too tacky and sometimes late. But the Gears 3 Beta really improved that part. I think Uncharted is better than Gears in like every single aspect (except survival/ horde). I find the shooting button better on PS3 and same with the grenade button. I think the triggers for 360 are too small and it's not really evenly spaced out. Like you said it's personal chocie though.
