That means the battery doesn't degrade over time and the controller will have a much longer shelf life. You only have to buy one good set of eneloop batteries every few years, it's really not much of an inconvenience.

The controller has had several improvements to that of the 360 controller. I actually really liked the 360 controller but when going back to it it really feels kinda cheap compared to a series controller.

The dpad, bumpers and triggers have improved. The little textured thumb grips are good. Overall the ergonomics improved as well and I think just carried over from the Xbox One controller.

I read somewhere once that the Xbox One controller had millions of dollars in r&d for its ergonomics so I can see why they stuck with that design. In fact I’d say it’s a really good form fact considering that both PS and Nintendo have taken inspiration from it.

You can’t tell me if you compare a previous PS controller and the current one that it hasn’t taken some influence from Xbox controllers.

You will get those kinds of games on other platforms too but, in my opinion anyway, Nintendo does them best.

You're also getting a handheld with a Switch which, is a great feature if you've got kids or are sharing the space with someone else. Being able to just pop the console out and continue playing definitely makes it less of a living room hog.
