Neowin stated in a past review that people prefer the Xbox 360 controller to the PS3's Dualshock. While this statement is controversial in regards to the fact it will always be up for debate and comes down to personal preference.
has always been the pinnacle of console controllers. Hell, its even the most recognized and widley used concept when it comes to video game controllers.
I like how the 360 controller feels, it's pretty comfortable but at the same time I have no problem with the PS3 controller, certainly not enough to spend the money on this thing.
Besides I llike the fact that the PS3 controller uses bluetooth and I can turn it on with the PS button not to mention the sixaxis controls are nice in some games.
This is certainly a nice alternative for anyone who feels like getting one.
i dont think just the layout of the analog sticks and the d-pad are just the only good things about the controller. I also like the shape of it, and how it fits in your hand.
It's more ergonomic. Our hands are designed in such a way that it's easier to have the left stick up. I prefer the DS3, but you can't deny the comfort of the 360's controller. If only it had more to it underneath...we'd be able to touch all four shoulder buttons at once.
I wouldn't get this though...that d-pad is atrocious!
I like the contours of the 360's controller, which make it fit in the hands nicely. I think the trigger buttons are a little better as well (although the "triggers" on the DS3 are not as bad as some make it out).
Honestly though, I don't really notice any improvement in the offset layout of the analogue sticks. In fact, it might be a little bit the opposite--I feel that I am a little more precise with the symmetrical placement of the DS3's analogue sticks. The DS3's sticks are also more accurate and have less "dead space". And we all know the D-Pad on the DS3 is miles better than the one on the 360's controller.
Anyway, the point is that both controllers have their pluses and minuses, but when it comes down to it both work perfectly fine.
I always loved the DualShock. It's the best controller ever. That's reason it hasn't changed much since the PS1.
You have to grab/hold the 360 controller. The PS3 controller rests/sits on your fingers. That's why my hands tend to get sweaty while using the 360 and original XboX's controllers. Plus that whole uneven analog thing is just feels wrong for FPSs. Symmetry FTW!
I getting that the design is way better than the dualshock3

I wonder if that d-pad has its limits like 360 one
