Xb1 controller is pretty good, better than the xb360 IMO and much lighter as well. Ps4 controller is a huge improvement over the ps3 controller.  Hate the gamepad though which is one of the reasons I havent bought a wii u.  Still waiting for a wii u pro controller sku.

My main problem with X360's controller were the face buttons, they felt cheap and odd to click. Did they change something about those buttons on XB1?



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

I have only played on the Wii U controller and a bit with the PS4 so my pick will go to the Wii U

Despite it being clunky and having a bad battery life, I really like the off TV play feature and that you can use it as a TV remote and other things

Xbox One controller with the fixed bumpers



Wii U Pro Controller. Simple, functional, in relation cheap and 80 hours batterylife. Perfect controller, the miss of an headphone jack is my only con.

battery life? Thats my only issue with it, but its a huge one.



Xbox One controller. Offset Analogue makes it way more comfortable and when it comes to faced paced games and competitive shooters having access to the dpad with both thumbs is vital and with DS4 that's very impractical.



I like synchrone controller lay-outs, so playstation all the way. Gamepad was nice too when it was used properly but it's potential was rarely used to it's maximum. The Xone should have an awesome controller but I am a bit too used to Sony and damn those batteries.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

I'll be honest, I use my DS4 with my PC more than the PS4, so battery life is usually a non issue for me.

With that said, yea the battery life is pretty bad, but as bad as the standard battery of the Wii U gamepad.





"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

well the gamepad is even worse without the high capazity battery (gamepad ~5-6 hours, DS4 ~8 hours).

I have both Ps4 and Wii U but the low battery life on the gamepad isnt such a issue for me as it is for the DS4. As long as im not using my wii u my gamepad is on the charger stand anyway, so I really never ran into any battery problems.

Ill place the DS4 into a drawer after playing so it wont charge everytime its not used. Thats why I often have battery issues on DS4.

Nontheless, like I already said the Wii U Pro Controller is the best imo. 80 hrs battery life. Awesome. Just charge every 2-3 month and your fine^^.

Do be honest i would take long battery about the ps4´s lightbar everytime.
