PS3 has a better selection of exclusives, but Xbox 360 was the place for fans of shooters.
PS3's controller is dogshit.
PS3 controller is miles better than the Xbox 360 controller.
Objectively wrong.
Name one thing wrong with the PS3 controller (protip you can't)

You could touch the analog sticks together.
Thing was made for midget hands.
So confirmed none of you have ever even used a DS3



Keep in mind I also have monstrous alien size hands.

It's infinitely better than the Xbox 360 controller for everything except shooters.
Put your thumbs on the sticks, touch them together.
So? Don't use the thumb sticks wrong. If you have the joy stick underneath the middle of your thumb you have an incredibly awkward way of using a joystick. Your thumbs touching is literally NEVER a problem in any game. Ever.
You are high
I think it is you, my friend, who is high as a kite
Nah man, I have actual functioning hands.

They don't fit the hands of a fully-developed human being.
Their control sticks accomplish the exact opposite of precision.
Triggers curve outward, making them slippery for trigger-fingers.
Sony thought the gyroscope wouldn't be the biggest drag the console had to offer.

Accept it.
They fit mine just fine; more comfortable than an Xbox controller.
The control sticks are PERFECT for everything BUT shooters as I've already said. If all you do is play shooters then yeah, go with the Xbox, you have shit taste anyway so it's a perfect match!
That's why they used the R1 and L1 buttons as "triggers" which is vastly superior. I will agree though that the curved surface of the R2 and L2 needed to be fixed, but I understand that it has been with the DS4 do that's nice.
What?
>fully developed

They're slippery and awkward for everything, not just shooters.  I didn't even mention how the convex surface is just plain uncomfortable.

R1 and L1 are also curved outwards.  And I hope they're not "triggers", since bumper buttons don't have an axis associated with them: they're a boolean value, not a range.  Aka: less precision, no such thing as "slightly pressed".

PS3 controllers have gyroscopes with them, and because of that Sony pushed developers to shoehorn shitty balance mechanics in their games, and no one enjoyed them.

Oh and Playstation did the whole "get a few free games with a PS+ subscription" thing before Xbox ever did, and Xbox only does one game at a time.

Also Jim's argument basically consists of

"I really like the ps3 so it's the best console"
And when you disagree he cherry picks the bad shit about the 360 while completely ignore all the terrible shit about the ps3, and if you point the shit out he just says "NO YOURE WRONG"

List everything wrong with the PS3

I'll go first

That's it
Again
>cherry picking

And no, I'm not going to gEt into a five page long argument with you about which console is better.

Because you can't tell me any other flaws with the console because the console itself is fantastic.
No, I think they're both great and that they both equally have they're own disadvantages and advantages.

Comfort isn't a thing, and precise controls only exist inside shooters.  Might as well use a D-Pad made out of jagged rocks for everything else.

You forgot to mention that the rechargeable batteries aren't removable. When your battery crapped out you bought a whole new controller.

Never happened to me once and I've been using my PS3 almost every day for YEARS.

Meanwhile, I've gone through 3 xbox consoles and I've had to buy my own rechargeable batteries AND a fan just to keep it from overheating.
I went through three controllers and my fourth holds a charge for like two hours.

I've had two controllers that have never died and the battery lasts a few hours for both of them.

AND if I remember correctly it CAME with two, so unless I am using the second controller, I can swap out the dead one for the good one and let the dead one charge.
You're either real lucky our I'm just unlucky. Either way they work as wired controllers when the battery goes to shit.

I personally felt like the PS3 controller was ridiculously flimsy and poorly-balanced. The triggers were garb, and the anologue sticks had no traction. But to be fair, every controller in history up to that point had these problems.

I genuinely don't understand the idea that the 360's controller was only well-suited (or better) for shooters when I got along fine playing Twinsanity, The Force Unleashed or hell, even Super Mario 64 on my computer.

Yeah, the PS3 was the better console in retrospect but I think you guys a shilling pretty hard for something that doesn't deserve it.

The Xbox controller is too stiff for anything except shooters.

But the flimsiness of the PS3 controller makes it unappealing for any genre.

I felt like I was playing Super Mario Sunshine at McDonalds every time I turned my PS3 on.

Nah it's fluid and gives you freedom to move, whereas the Xbox controller is stiff and feels like it's fighting you.

So then it is entirely based on preference. You concede to this?

Which means we can argue more objective things like hardware and exclusives.

Already did

Well yeah

I'm just saying -- including a "better controller" on your "pros" list is silly if you understand that it is entirely up to preference

Do you like the PS4 controller?

Oh yeah. Sorry I forgot you didn't move on to next gen yet.

When do you plan on doing that -- if you plan on that at all.
