Nope, not even close

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.

I'm one (though I prefer the DualShock 3 for most game types on consoles).

Besides, finding and implementing the driver on PC for a PlayStation controller is Hell-and-a-half!


There are enough controllers that mimic the DS3, so that's not an issue I think. Still I would love to know numbers (and market-share ;)).

It's dual analogue, so no.

PS4 controller vs PS3 controller - Hands-on

Because it's more comfortable. End of discussion. Xbox 360 is the best controller I've ever used minus the dpad so that is why I buy my fighters on PS3. Dpad looks fixed for the X1 controller so it will be perfect. I've used the Atari 2600, 7200, NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, PS1,2,3, Xbox and Xbox 360 controllers. 360 wins. You're not changing my mind and just because some random guy on the internet types an article about how he thinks the best controller is the DS4 doesn't prove anything or change the minds of people who prefer the Xbox 360 controller. It's all opinion based. Wait for actual comparison articles to try to make a point.

That's the one I used, but still had trouble with games like PURE that just seemed to prefer a 360 pad

It's easy to use the 360 pad because Windows already include native drivers for it.

The internet press is in love with PS4 controller .

There are also enough controllers for PS3 that mimic the 360 controller. I would love to know numbers and market-share . Simply doesn't make sense


lol touche.

I've already answered it three times. Stick placement.
