Controller battery life
Sony’s DualShock 4 is an excellent controller. It feels great, it has a touchpad, and it has a built-in audio jack — it also runs out of battery pretty quickly. The Xbox One doesn’t have some of those features, but it also has much better battery life. It also uses AA batteries again, which means you can just always have some rechargeable Duracells ready to go when you do run out of juice.
With the DS4, once it’s dead, you have to get out the long USB cord or just give up for the night and let it charge.

In terms of battery life, the DS4 is definitely a step down from the DS3. I regularly get about 20 hours of play time before needed to recharge vs about 8-10 hours of play time with the DS4.
When it comes to built-in batteries vs using AA batteries, I prefer having a built-in battery. When the battery level is low on the controller you just have to pull out the charging cable on plug it in. Seems like less of a hassle the managing a collection of rechargable AA batteries.
