And the capture button!

Playstation ook example on Xbox, nowboh consoles are the same except for the exclusives and that the series X is a little more powerful

PlayStation was the same for a long time too

It's not like Sony had the same controller since the PS1 to the PS4 with a few minor changes here and there 🙄

Maybe because for them it simply works?

Both controller are fine, id use either one. The issue is the shit parts they use to make them. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve had stick drift on PS3, PS4, XBOX360, XBOX One, and series S controllers. The only one it hasn’t happened with is a PS5 cause I never ended up buying one. That shit is so infuriating. Every year I have to get a new controller because of stick drift. And I only play a few hours a day maybe, I’m not excessively using my controller more than I should. It’s bullshit

Edit: forget to mention sometimes the controllers just break, button inputs don’t work, the vibrators fall out of place. The plastic will crack. Obviously it’s not every single controller but I’ve had it happen to at least one or two for each generation of console I’ve had, PS3 was probably the worst

Playstation has been changing their controllers while xbox has been refining theirs. The new xbox controller is different, like it feels noticeably different, they just changed it to improve rather than make something entirely different.

I think they’re talking more about the form factor, which hasn’t needed much refinement over the years.

If it ain't broke

Have both, ps5 controller feels more premium and love the haptic triggers. The d-pad on the xbx controller feels very cheap, otherwise it’s a solid controller

Pro controllers, not the joycons

The pro controller is low key good.

I was provided some interesting information a few weeks back. I asked why Xbox uses analog sticks over hall effect sensors. The reason isn't a great one, because it seems lazy, but it's also not what I thought. (It's not cost)

Xbox controller prototypes were made with hall effect sensors as well as analog sticks.

The issue is production. Microsoft isn't a manufacturer. They take off the shelf parts and assemble them more or less, which is true of Nintendo and Sony.

The reason hall effect sensors aren't the mainstream is simply because of a lack of a completed assembly, i.e., circuit board, thumb stick, and hall effect sensors. Analog sticks are.

Microsoft actually tried hall effect sensors and requested that the manufacturer build the completed stick assembly for production. The vendors didn't want to do it at that time or still don't, and the ones we see on the market are actually companies building their sticks from parts.

Yeah, but these rechargeable lithium ion batteries Sony uses last years. The one in my PS3 controller is still working fine.

why change something if it works perfectly??

Microsoft never innovate things, they just buy market share with investments no one else can afford. They do it until all competitors got out of business or been swallowed by MS.

imo get a 5 then a series S if you don't care for 4k gaming and just want game pass games its super cheap as well now.

Xbox controllers were the best until Dualsense came out.

I kinda miss getting new controllers

Did the person that made this actually hold a 360 controller and the new one? Or even simply look at them? Not the same lol.

Ps 2 changed the PS1 contollers with sizing, addition of joy sticks and dual shock, then arguably the next change was PS4 adding the touch pad button and gyro. Ps5 is the biggest shift, and it's the comfort king for controllers right now. Xbox controllers have been damn solid since xbone, but you're forgetting how bad the very first Xbox controller was. That thing gave you arthritis if you played more than an hour, MS'll be lucky if we don't class action them! 😁

I'm just glad sony kept the thumb sticks next to each other, I've never liked the Xbox thumb stick placement

Said as if Sony hadn't been designing controllers for even longer, and spending heavily on R&D. Childish tribal attitudes make these threads pointless.

It's not thou go look at a 360 controller
