I dont think so, from what I've read in the past, both 360 and dual shock have basically zero difference response times between wired and wireless.

Although, multiple gamers on one system using wireless can slow down response times (say 4 player split screen), but again, it's very minimal.

@lolking not too sure about the disagrees but people might have been trying to answer your question without an actual reply, with the disagrees meaning (the ds3 does not have improved accuracy) but who knows

lolz yes it is senor

i wouldn't click on it my self but the picture they're showing is the original xbox. trying to get easy hits by putting an interesting title. lol besides i do that with my controller anyway because i don't want to buy batteries. its wireless but i have it plugged in. i know what they mean but i don't think it would make any difference quite honestly

It is the original xbox and also original pad (post S controller), but the patient is recent.

WiFi lags. Connections drop. Interference gets in the way. This is factual.

Wired > Wireless in terms of performance.

EDIT: I read your statement correctly, just wondering why tools were disagreeing with you.

I don't know about the Xbox but the PS3 already supports all kinds of wired controllers so the code is already there anyway. I assume the old Xbox wired controllers work on a 360 don't they?

I expect the limitation is in the controller itself, they were probably designed to only communicate wirelessly.

"The USB cables only supply power. Both the 360 and PS3 controllers still communicate wirelessly when plugged in, to my recollection."

I don't think that is entirely true at least for the PS3 case. I think the USB actually provides proper connection between the controller and the PS3 even with the SIXAXIS and DS3. I once forgot to plug-in my BT & WiFi adapter in my fat PS3 after I fixed the YLoD the 1st time. the console turned ON ok but the WiFi didn't work and my DS3 won't work either unless connected with USB. that where I noticed maybe I forgot to reconnect something back when I put my PS3 back together. so I opened my PS3 again and reconnect the BT and WiFi adapter and zing! everything went back to normal. but the thing was, although just connected with USB, my DS3 worked like it should and all motion sensing control was possible. that's a solid proof that the USB provides more than just power to the DS3.

the other great example is the capability of the PS3 to recognize any USB controller to be used with it. I only have 4 controllers and sometimes I play FIFA with 5 others. So I simply use 2 USB controllers I use for my PC on my PS3 and it works like charm.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
