Just when we had the GAF-thread this day, perfect :)
OT:
I think for some it will be the best, for others the xbox-controller. Just like this gen.

Why? I posted way before GAF... almost 10 minutes early... GAF copied VGC?

Maybe, The ds4 certainly looks awesome! I like that they made it bigger. However, I think the x1 controller sounds a little bit better on paper, but I will have wait till they come out before I can say which one is bettter than the other...



*Insert large generic talk about how my personal preference matters over some random article* I prefer DS3 etc

Even I question the source being biased on this one, if IGN published this then it would been a different story.



Hmm, pie.

I will admit the DS3 was better for fighters but the 360 controller was better for everything else. If X1 controller has the dpad situation fixed, which it looks like it is, then I can't see the DS4 being as good. DS4 finally has real triggers and concave sticks so that is a good step.



Thank god the sticks are symmetrical! I would've needed to get a third party controller. Man I hate asymmetrical. Also the touchpad still seems weird and unnecessary but doesn't disturb anything so I guess I can live with it.

@pezus
Stick placement is still an issue therefore DS4 will not be as good as the X1 controller to me or millions of fans who prefer the Xbox controller.

I would love to know how many pc-gamers use the 360-controller.



Sony has many advantages this time but the controller is not one of them.
