"Toby, why are you the way you are?"

More Xbox controller shaped. Interesting.

I LOL at that, but agree looks awesome, would like a red and gold myself.

@Unspoken
Actually the silhouette of the handles (and only the handles) reminds me of the original PS3 controller design. Remember the boomerang?
Yes just the handles but still they are more gently and deliberately curved to fit your hand than even the DS4 controller.
Meanwhile the XO and XO Elite controllers curve at the shoulders and then keep a very flat line through to the bottom of the hand-grip. This seems to be the case with Series X' controller as well.

This obvious difference very clearly differentiates the silhouette of the two brands controllers.

They are just scared. the gamepad is cool and doesnt need silly batteries from 1980 walkman´s.

Outside of N4G? I just checked IGN, PS on instagram, Gamespot, and other and I barely see anyone saying it looks like an xbox controller. Unless you are referring Twitter as “everyone” lol.

@wave, do you have a problem with options? user replaceable is always going to be better than no choice at all.

...... Im pretty sure the apron remark has to do with the color scheme.

@darthv72
I have a problem when options cost me more money if I spend $60 on controller why should I be forced to buy either batteries(which don't last) / play and charge kit(which don't last) / or third-party rechargeable batteries(which don't last) , That's dumb I don't care how you slice it. if the Daulsense 5 has great battery life then it's golden in my book(and if the internal battery miraculously dies just replace the internal battery which I've never had to do) . You guys let Microsoft create a problem just to sell you the solution 🙄

@AspiringProGenji
I just watched IGN's hour long convo about this controller and their staff are claiming this (which explains their lack of credibility).

yea its an xbox controller. Funny they didnt show a black controller i think the feedback would have been different and they knew it

You guys dont see it because you dont want to. Look at the outer shell shape. The curve at top and the handles. The Playstation controller is also getting bigger.

Not a bad thing so I don’t see why people are complaining.

@Elda and @Outside_ofthe_Box

I agree. They don't look the same.

@darthv2

"As someone who has quite the extensive collection of DS/XB controllers"

And? You have an "extension" collection of the same things with different colors.

@Software_Lover

"Look at the outer shell shape. The curve at top and the handles."

Yeah....they don't look the same as an Xbox controller. Xbox is much wider at the bottom and more narrow at the top. The buttons on DS look further apart. Xbox has that big lip under the D-Pad and right analog that DS doesn't have.

I'll agree with darthv2 that the DS grips are not as rounded as DS5 and are longer. That is still a long stretch from being similar to Xbox controller.

My eyes didn't just make all that up. I look at DS and I don't see Xbox.

"Not a bad thing so I don’t see why people are complaining."

lol.....who is complaining again?

"You guys dont see it because you dont want to"

Or maybe you see it because you want too sooo damn bad? Outside of what Darth pointed out about the grips toward the bottom, I don't think that's enough to warrant the "it looks like an Xbox controller" remarks.

And how is one saying that they don't see the resemblance complaining?

"And? You have an "extension" collection of the same things with different colors."... I do. I collect controllers which means I collect the color variants and themed ones.

Maybe this side by side will help understand what is being described... https://imgur.com/a/e2D89ds

That side by side shows two distinctly different controllers in so many different ways.

Why is this controversial? They are very different controllers. You want to pretend they are similar? Why?

If you present those two images to ANY non-gamer and they will say they look completely different. Period.

Side by side makes the differences stand out alot. Ds5 is beautiful.

Razer, I think I know why you are not seeing it. Your eyes are naturally drawn to the layout of the controller. Placement of the d-pad, sticks and buttons. That is very likely why you don't see the same thing others are seeing. When i see a controller, I gravitate to the shape as it is the shape that fits in the hands. Once you have form down, the next step is functionality (buttons and such). Im only speaking of the shape of the controller is now more similar than they were different.

By no means is this conclusive proof of what I'm referring to but on twitter and redit and all kinds of fb groups people are expressing the same sentiment about the shape of the controller is now closer to xbox one. Again... the shape, not the layout. If I wanted a DS4 with the xbox layout I can get a 3rd party one (and i have one) just as I believe there will be 3rd party DS5's with the xbox stick layout as well.

And personally i like this look, like i said above... this is automatically more comfortable (to me) because I like the feel of the xbox controller more so than playstation controller because of the shape. Functionality wise they both have their pros and cons (like the bumpers on xbo feel cheap and stick placement on ps isnt natural anymore since offset came out). I dont think anyone is trying to insult this controller when it incorporates elements of various designs into one. I see it as the best of both worlds.

" Your eyes are naturally drawn to the layout of the controller."

Nope.

It has a different shape.

"but on twitter and redit and all kinds of fb groups people are expressing the same sentiment about the shape of the controller is now closer to xbox one."

lol.....and plenty of people are expressing the opposite sentiment. The image above shows the simple truth. I can't help people who look at that image and say the shape is the same. It factually is not.

@darth72
I too have all manner of PS controllers PSPs and even Move controllers. I also own an Xbox 360 and Nvidia Shield TV controller.

Just looking at images of the silhouettes of the XSX and DualSense controllers there is no similarities that can't be explained by evolutions of previous hardware and neither controller looks to copy ergonomics from the other.

Unfortunately the XSX did copy the share button and DualSense renamed the Share Button to "Create".

So while PlayStation didn't copy Xbox in any way it is clear that Xbox did copy DS4's share button.
