  13. Yep. I kind of followed the Xbox Franchise throughout its 13 year history, and it seems that while the X360 S Controller is probably the most comfortable, and easy to use, I've yet to give an Xbox One a whirl! Might consider that maybe either after tax refund, or next holiday season.

  35. The first Xbox controller looks like it would be an hassle for me to the handle it good thing I had a GameCube at the time and didn't get an Xbox until 360 came out.

  45. +Robert Morin I honestly didn't like the xbox one controller at first. The triggers felt off and too wide and the bumpers seemed further away… But after using it for just a little bit, I find it very comfortable. The bumpers actually curve to the sides a bit so you can tap them with the edge of your pointer finger without taking them off the triggers. Plus the D-pad is amazing now.
    Only thing I don't like is how the joysticks move… The 360 controller sticks were nice and tight, whereas these have too much give. You have to push them half way in any direction to get feedback… I hope they fix this

  87. While I've always loved the Dual Shock 4 is th e best Playstation controller yet, the Xbox 360 and One controllers have always seemed more comfortable

  89. Yeah think the dual shock 4 controller is awesome. Sony really fixed a lot. Bigger, actual triggers now, concave rather than friggin rounded joysticks and they are spread apart further… BUT, the offset sticks are so much more natural feeling to me. That design alone makes me love the xbox controller.
    Btw, anyone know why Microsoft named the console "xbox"?

  102. It went from bad (original) to good(Xbox 360) to worst(Xbox one) the 360 controller was perfect. Sticking with the Xbox 360 controller would have saved on cost for the consumer and producer.

  103. I welcomed the Xbox controller when it was released for the same reason Japan didn't like it is why I DID like it… it was bigger. Our hands are typically slightly larger and having the larger control is more comfortable.

  128. Damn, I remember the original Xbox, lots of cool times playing Halo with my Dad, sis, and bros. I have never seen the second controller though, it threw me off. Of course, when you in the hood, people feel the need to wanna try yo shit out…for free…without your consent. Came home one day, found my PSP 1000, Nintendo DSi, 2 GameCubes, GameCube games, PlayStation 2, my PlayStation 2 games(hitches even took the rack! Lol) All gone. Only thing I had left was and Xbox 360 with no games, and PSP games without the PSP. Lol

    Thug lyfe.

  145. i have some pretty big hands so i kinda hatedplaystation as i grew older so i got the xbox 360 and the controller felt alot better but i can maybe accept both next gen controllers they both seem really good

  149. I mean i like the xbox controller when i play like Call of Duty cause of the trigger button and stuff like that but the ps3 controller is the best controller i could use
