Why dont you ask the PC gamers which controllers they prefer to game on, since PC has the option for both 360/XB1 and DS4 controllers and you will be suprised. Also 3rd party controllers never sell aswell as the stock controllers. That same argument can also be use for Xbox owners who also have the choice between analog placements yet by the stock controllers. |
More excuses. If asymmetrical was the vastly preferred way to play, it wouldn't matter if the DS was stock. Gamers would be picking up asymmetrical controllers because it was so much better. As for PC gamers, Xbox controllers have been designed to work easily with PCs, with many games having Xbox prompts, while DS controllers weren't so friendly. Only DS4 was changed to fix this. Interestingly, DS4 is the best selling controller ever. You would think with all of those PC gamers buying XBO controllers it wouldn't even be a contest. Guessing some of them have been buying DS4s, too.
Let's just be honest here. The only reason asymmetrical controllers came about is because MS didn't want to look like they were completely ripping off the DS when they came out with the Xbox. Especially when they redesigned the controller to be smaller. Xbox fans hold onto the false notion that it's better because it's linked with Xbox or they are used to it. If Xbox had a symmetrical controller, you'd probably say it was the best ever.
All this talk doesn't change simple nature. We have symmetrical hands, so a symmetrical controller makes sense. Of course, like I said, most people probably don't give a shit and can adapt.
