Put me on the bandwagon then...
5. Rechargeable out of the box
My XBox 360 controller is rechargeable out of the box too. What was the point? The difference... my rechargeable controller has battery pack that can be swapped out during game play without having to plug it into the console. I can choose to plug it in if I want or I can use my charging cradle to charge an extra battery while I play. Wow... so many choices. Question... what are you going to do when your PS3 controller looses it's recharge capability..? The battery is internal... need to get a new one. Me..? I just simply purchase a new battery pack.
4. SIXAXIS
Good idea... give the gaming community a reason to make crappy controls for a game that would otherwise be great with traditional control scheme. I will give you that SIXAXIS does allow for creativity and it is the fault of the developer for poorly using its functionality.
3. Controller Shape
I grew up with a nintendo and PS controller in my hands. I was so pleased when the second iteration of the XBox controller came around and more so when the XBox 360 controller finally came around. It doesn't feel so light that you feel like you are going to break it when you use it. The thumb buttons are PERFECTLY offset, for ANY game. The buttons have pressure sensativity. The trigger buttons greatly surpass the functions of the PS3 trigger mess. Using the trigger for throttle in racing games is perfect.
2. DPad Superiority
The DPad for the 360 is lacking but I have YET to play a game that uses the DPad for anything more then inventory. I don't play 2D fighters and any 3D fighters I find the thumb sticks are perfectly functional. Putting this at #2 when the DPad is one of the least used portion of a good controller is crazy.
1. Designed to excel for all game genres
Just saying that resistance and killzone are better then any XBox 360 games pegs you as a fraud. The XBox 360 controller is a perfect fit for anyone. I have over 100 games for my 360 and have used my controller on each one with no issues with any of the games. I still love the controller as do most of my PS3 friends. They wish they could use it on their PS3. Some even have it for their PC and love it.
This whole article was bias and proved nothing. It is all subjective but the masses have came back and said they prefer the XBox 360. I have yet to see an XBox player go to the PS3 controller and say "hey, I really prefer this controller" but I have met MANY PS3 players say that about the XBox 360 controller.
