Yeah, hence the reason why I pointed out that pointing out that calling the long battery life of the Pro controller as a definitive plus from which Sony and MS should learn from is misinforming since most games will be played on the system's main control method, the Gamepad, which has at best a 5 hours battery life. A shorter battery life than the PS3 and 360's controller. Yeah sure, it has a screen and all other kinds of tech, but the point still stands.

Try to follow.

You're right, my mistake ;)

A rather... subjective article.

Only care to comment on the controller:

PS3's controller has been tested and found to be able to last 19 hours before recharge.

Xbox's controller has been tested to be able to last 57 hours before new batteries were needed

And Wii's was around 22 hours.

So I would say Nintendo learned more from MS on this than MS need to learn from Nintendo on battery life.
