We both already establish that it's a matter of personal choice. You probably prefer the PS3 controller because you play more PS then 360.

I don't like the PS3 controller because the Analog stick feels very loose for me, and said complaints about the trigger, being small, uncurved, not having a click when fully pressed, and not pressing in in a natural way like the 360 trigger.

Also for racing, pssh, controller. Steering wheel is where it's at, but from my short experience with controller based steering, I still prefer the 360 trigger button. It's just a better button overall, and talk to anybody who actually owns both a PS3 and a 360, and plays both, they will likely agree.

Well your maybe right. But I have cousins in Europe and they own both consoles and they agree with me. I have visted Europe many times (espeically Geramny and France and most people I know there prefer PS3 controller) But where I live in Canada and most people agree with you.

Hey I'm from Toronto, what's up fellow Canuk?

Everyone has a personal preference, the PS3 controller is still a good controller. I don't really understand why Sony made trigger button either, but it's a welcome addition if you ask me. At least PS3 controllers don't break like my 360 controllers. 1 controller doesn't have a working A button, and the other has a loose analog stick, but still works. Only had 1 PS1 controller ever go on me, over the duration of 3 consoles.

BTW, what's up with Germany? I heard many 360 exclusives don't get localized there for a couple years after release. I heard Gears of War 1 was a 2008 title for them?

Also this controller issue, it could be a regional thing. In Canada and USA 360 outsells PS3, but in most of Europe including France and Germany, PS3 outsells 360. Maybe people in different regions play different types of games and like different triggers?

Yeah I live in Toronto as well so thumbs up for Canada! I personaly think Xbox sells better in U.S. because

1. Many established exclusive franchies.

2. People in U.S.A think Xbox 360 is the best for shooters so they want to buy shooters on the 360 opposed to the PS3.

3. But people in Japan, Germany, France e.t.c prefer qualltiy over "I want to play Halo" like in the U.S.A. (Halo is a great game btw).

I think the biggest reason is because 360 games have a lot of hype in the U.S.A and have much more stronger exclusive franchises than PS3 over there. Looking at the European and Americas slaes I have to say.... they both prefer shooters,sports,racing,e.t.c but different kinds
