Gamers would be picking up asymmetrical controllers because it was so much better. As for PC gamers, Xbox controllers have been designed to work easily with PCs, with many games having Xbox prompts, while DS controllers weren't so friendly. Only DS4 was changed to fix this. Interestingly, DS4 is the best selling controller ever. You would think with all of those PC gamers buying XBO controllers it wouldn't even be a contest. Guessing some of them have been buying DS4s, too. Let's just be honest here. The only reason asymmetrical controllers came about is because MS didn't want to look like they were completely ripping off the DS when they came out with the Xbox. Especially when they redesigned the controller to be smaller. Xbox fans hold onto the false notion that it's better because it's linked with Xbox or they are used to it. If Xbox had a symmetrical controller, you'd probably say it was the best ever. All this talk doesn't change simple nature. We have symmetrical hands, so a symmetrical controller makes sense. Of course, like I said, most people probably don't give a shit and can adapt. |
DS4 is still not as popular than the Xbox controllers for PC.. so your argument doesn't hold up. If gamers preferred the PS styled analog placements over the asymmetrical design than PC gamers would be flocking to the DS4 controllers, but they don't seem to be, I wonder why? Also PC gamers mostly use Keyboard and Mouse and most times a 360 controller is the 2nd best choice for the audience.
The DS4 is the best selling controller on a platform that has sold the most since the PS2.. do you see a link here? 95% of the PS4 controller options are DS4s so its a no brainer its flying off the shelf with a 100m customers. Controllers don't last forever so PS4 owners will go out and buy another set and that leads to another shit ton of controllers sold due to simply buying extras and replacing the old ones.
Haha you can believe what you want why Xbox went with the asymmetrical design. Many claim the 360 controller to be the best controller design ever made, I don't hear much about PS controllers fitting in that same league. You can say other wise, I don't expect you to agree.
Your last point is another preference opinion. Most games I play, my right thumb is more comfortable on pressing the buttons while also spreading out the analog sticks so I don't feel like my thumbs are going to touch half the time. But hey that's just my opinion.
