The Star Wars is just gorgeous.

I mean, the position of the left stick, plus the better triggers, make the xbox controller much more suitable for shooters (as far as controllers go)

Sorry, but that left analog nonsense is just plain garbage started by fanboys. Our hands are symmetrical, therefore a symmetrical controller makes sense. And tens of millions prefer it that way. Of course, our bodies can adapt to using just about any controller, so an asymmetrical one isn't that big a deal. But, to actually talk about that placement being better than a symmetrical one makes absolutely no sense, scientifically/biologically speaking, and is just clearly bias talking. Really, if Xbox gamers think the placement of the left analog is superior, they should be bitching at MS to also swap the right analog and face buttons.

I haven't read through that thread, but I'm going to guess the logic is that Sony was so far ahead, MS would have had to pay a lot more to keep the marketing deal, more than they were willing to pay. Not that Activision just automatically jumped ship cause of the gap. If so, than that is more than likely 100% correct. It's only natural that you want your product associated with the more popular platform, so the guy in a distant 2nd is going to have to pay up if they want to keep it associated with them instead.

If COD does go back to MS, I'd say it's because of one of two things. Either they jacked up the price for Sony and Sony refused, since they know it's going to sell best on their platform anyway, so Activision went back to MS OR MS has decided they are really going to go all out this Xmas.

Against a $199 PS4 with RDR2 and GOW bundles out for Xmas? Doubt it. 

Being a star wars fan and how much some people are willing to pay for those consoles ,I ended up getting both, the Battlefront PS4 and PS4 Pro. 

Yep the stick and far superior triggers make all the difference. Plus the coating on the Xbox pad doesn’t start breaking apart after 2 hours of use lol.

I was browsing at a store like two years ago or so and a Sony rep was trying to sell me on The Order (this was before the world knew it was garbage) and we somehow got on the subject of controllers and I mentioned the shitty sticks and how they break up easily and he whipped out two new analog nubs from his large bag and told me to pop those in and they’d work much better. I did, within a few days they were breaking apart lol. 

As for the controller thing, here's the truth. left analog stick more important than the D-pad, therfore it should get the best placement.  The face buttons are more important than the right analog stick, therefore it gets priority. Nothing too hard to understand.

And as for the bolded, that  is very much up for debate. We dont even know if there will be bundles for any of them, yet.

He was talking about the Star Wars 360 version, that is gorgeous, the BF version of PS4 I remember being only ok

Funny thing from the 4 years I've been playing my PS4 the only damage my controls have are from my baby biting the analog and making a dent on it. The other 2 controls and the analog he didn't bit are perfectly ok.

So you have doubts PS4 will sell more than X1 on Xmas 2018? Have MS even won any holiday this gen?
