I'm trying to decide between a 360 and PS3, and oddly enough, one of the factors pushing me towards the 360 is the controller. It feels perfect for nearly everything, especially FPS games. While the DS3 is nice for most games, it just feels so awkward for me on FPS games.

Am I alone in my thinking here?

While I will admit the 360 controller does feel a bitbetter for FPS. I do like the DS3 more though.

DS3 is better for fighting games, 2d games whilst the 360 is better for FPS

I do prefer the 360 controller but I prefer the PS3 hardware and games so for me the PS3 wins.

The 360 is cooler. While some will say PS3 might be better for Fighting Games.. you'll be buying a Stick anyway if you wanna play Fighting Games srsly.

both controllers have the same amount of buttons, DS2 has the added motion sensing. I don't understand how one is better for fps... I mean... There is no delay when Im pressing a button on either controller, both of their sticks are about the same.... so what gives?

Even when you just want to have fun and not play "srsly" its still a hassle. Iv tried SF4 on 360 and I automaticly became worse then if I would play on a DS3. I still was abel to win,but thats not the point.

I can pull of any Combos on the 360 Controller easily.. also in Fights. If your used to DS3 then its just natural for you to be worse on the 360. (And vise versa) On a side note: I can't imagine playing Charge Characters on a DS3 lol

I fine with using both on any genre of games. Remember the DS3 came like a year after, I still have friends who still plays with the original sixaxis. That controller felt so cheap.

Both controllers are very good. The only time I've noticed a difference or problem was when I was playing Street Fighter 4 on 360, the triggers are terrible for that game.

Overall, the triggers on 360 controller are cool and all, but the Dual Shock is way better for Sports games, Fighting games, etc.

Well to be honest here i have jumped back and forth on the 360 and DS3 for SF4. I just hate hte dpad so dam much. I can still do moves,but its just so anoying.Also may I ask what are charge characters. Is that some fighter lingo for a certain type of fighter in a game. Like a vega or bison.

Yeah. Chars where you need to hold directions 1~2 Secs :) I actually play with Analog Stick when I play with 360 Controller. It's better than DPad and works surprisingly well.

I dont use stick at all on 360. I do admit though its the only way I could pull off the specials of vega and guile. Besides that I only use dpad and its not really that hard to play with the charge characters with the DS3 dpad. In fact I like using bison alot.

I'm going to have to say the 360. It fits so much better. It just feels right. While I only have experience with the Sixaxis, the shape is the same. I think biggest problem I had with that is the weight. But the DS3 fixes that, but I still say the 360 controller.

They are both brilliant, why decide? I find the 360 controller really comfy for a lot of games and DS3 better for the rest.

I prefer the 360 controller, but to be honest it's fairly marginal. Neither controller is uncomfortable (though in my opinion the 360 controller is more comfortable) and they basically have the same buttons. Base your choice on thegames, you'll get use to either controller in a short length of time.

ehhhh idk about that 360 controller bein perfect for nearly any game i mean if all u want is shooters games *which it seems like that's all u want from what u posted lol* if that is so get 360 but idk about it bein perfect for every thing its the best controller for shooters i will say that hands down but fighter games it feels ew......and some action/adventure games feel a bit off sometimes as well. ps3's controller is kinda suited best for every thing they made the bottom triggers better for shooters but the flaw is the loose feel of the analog sticks they need some tighting

Xbox 360's controller just feels more comfortable to me, I've never been one to like the design of PS controllers.

Funny because the controller was the reason why I bought a 360 over a ps3. Though im getting a ps3 sooner or later anyways.

Dont have an issue using either, although the 360s d-pad isn't that great, but that's not a great issue either.

I hate playstation controllers, I've always found them completely unusable for some reason. D-pad aside, the 360 controller works almost flawlessly as far as I'm concerned.
