I've been thinking lately, which controller from the two leading online multiplayer consoles has the best layout?
Personally, even though I play with my Xbox a lot more, I like using the PS3 controls. Mainly because they're formed to be exactly where you think the buttons are formally at, and the controller is incredibly light weight for what it offers. You can charge it, unlike the Xbox controller, where you have buy a wired controller, or a play and charge, and it comes with a accelerometer installed into the controller for some of the game's functionality. Such as Uncharted 3, where you can use it to aim grenades and idols. And the joysticks on the controller are incredibly soft and round so that your fingers won't miss a beat of action while you're playing. The only bad thing is when they meet a LOT of finger oil.
The cons of the Xbox controller are the complete opposite. Where as you have a heavy controller, and the triggers do get annoying from time to time, but do simulate a real firearm's trigger much more than a PS3. The PS3 kind of has more of a bumper. Not really a trigger. The joysticks on the Xbox's controller have these indents in them that helps keep traction of your fingers to stay inside of the bowl that is the joystick, but it's decent, and I somewhat like them. And, the Xbox controller is freakishly fat with it's battery pack and vibrators at the end of the controller. But all in all, I think the only pros of the Xbox controller is that it slips into your hands. ( And out.) It's the wired black controller that I have for my Xbox that I love because it's just so soft and rounds in the palms of your hands.
So. For Xbox.
Wired Controllers. All the way.
And for PS3.
Either or. Although, wireless is pretty cool. Unless you're going for input detection ( Which wired is good for.), than wireless is the way to go.
And majority..
PS3 wins. It's just an all around better controller imo.
What do you guys think?
