Next gen: Which console do you think has the best controller?

[Edelweiss]

The PS controller always bothered me because it's got a glaring usability issue with the symbols. I keep having to look down at it even after 15 years to remember which one is Circle.

LOL. Are you serious? Really must suck to be you.

Yeah man, well I don't play ps3 much at all so I lose my muscle memory every time. Plus I'm a bit thick, innit.

I had the same problem when I was using a xbox controller to play Tomb Raider on my PC. It'd tell me to push X and i'd have to look more often than none since I'm used to where it is on Playstation.

I'm voting xbox just because it looks more comfortable and the Share button and touch pad on the PS controller were wtf moments for me. I really don't see why they need to be part of the core controller, going out of your way to use the touch pad is silly imo. At least on the Vita it made a lil' more sense. The light on the front I can understand they're using it for tracking like the Move but I might need to see a demo with more practical application before I'm convinced.

The xbox controller just looked sleeker and more comfortable.

Most likely will get both down the line. Its pretty hard to tell though, if it ends up no one gets the xbox, because of what ever reason, i will end up with only the ps4. But i think its too early to tell, since we don't have much info on the ps4. I think too many people are complaining not enough was said about games at the announcement, but to be honest, we all know it will play games, they really didnt need to focus on it. we will find out more at E3, i think after E3 we will have a much better idea which is going to be better.

Edit: Shite, miss read the title of the thread. Either way it still kind of stands, i dont really think we know enough yet. All i've heard is the xbox has better vibration features, but until we see it implemented or reviewed, we only basing this on what sony and MS have said. Which doesn't help much.

The PlayStation controllers are too small,feels like it for kiddy hands, the Xbox feels more comfortable and easier to work with, plus you get limited edition controllers, like the Tomb Raider one which looks totally kicka$$, playstation is too limited and boring.

I preferred the 360 controller way more to the PS3. But I don't think you can actually judge which next-gen controller is better without actually holding it in your hands.
