I have 360 Controller for my PC for some RPG Games. Its the best Controller out now. Dualshock is cool but cant hold a candle against the 360 Controller

Best controller for me ever is the Playstation Controller. But theres a reason for that generally they have stuck to the same design for along time.

This would make sense for Xbox aswell imo. Ive got used to the 360 controller it was a step up from the controller s and generally this is how you keep a fanbase.

I love the d pad on the controller

Used to love the DS2, but the DS3 was butchered with those god awful triggers...

But I do prefer the 360 controller over the Dualshock, the analog sticks just feel more natural to put your thumbs there rather than having crab hands using the DS2.

I never use the thumb pad to they can do what ever they want with it, no idea why people moan about it, if you want to play fighters then you pretty much need a joystick anyway.

There will be no controller because... You are the controller!

This is absurd, why in the world wouldn't they keep the controller the way it is? I mean I could see a tweak here or there, but I don't think they are going to change it drastically to something else, especially when so many people are used to the one they have now.

Keep things the same but move the start button. It's way to close to the other buttons and easy to press.

I love the controller, aside from the Dpad of course. Rechargeable batteries should come standard with new controllers though.

.

just needs a usable d-pad and internal rechargable battery like this ps3 controller, otherwise the controller is fine, oh and move that start button

All they need to do is have a built in power supply rather than have people cough up for a play and charge kit.

That and build a proper D-Pad on it. The rest of the controller is fine the way it is, it's comfortable to use and functional (functional apart from the D-Pad).

Someone else in this article suggested button mapping, I think that would be a great feature but that would really need to be done within the games to allow that kind of customisation.

What everybody else said. I've got so used to the 360 controller I have real trouble using the PS pad these days, it feels too small by comparison.

I wouldn't mind being able to actually use the same 360 controller I'm using now for the next console...Seeing as how it's wireless it theoretically should be able to work unless they go a different route for controllers.

Agreed, it's an awesome controller. I bought an adapter just to use it on my PS3.

Both 360 Controller and DS 3 are awesome, love em both but with all honesty, the 360 battery pack is less reliable than DS3's built in battery

Change the d-pad

I hate that pad . Nothing objective about it truly , just a matter of personalm preference .

Now i can live with it remaining in tradition , and hell it should , it still a great pad .

However they need to improve the d-pad .Using the new transformer one by default would be good , but they can even do better than that .

The 360 controller is amazing. It's pretty much perfect. However I do like having a newer revised controller to go with a new console.

I'm kind of weird like that though.

I generally like the 360 controller.
Like many, I was a PS2 gamer and when I switched to the 360, I found it bulky at first and I was worried about the asym positioning of the sticks.

But most of my concerns vanished quickly. The triggers are great and the best thing is the concave analog nubs. It doesn't seem like much but it's so much more ergonomic.

I ended up also buying a PS3, but I found it way harder to jump from 360 to DualShock3 than it was to jump from DualShock2 to 360.
DualShock much more badly needs a redesign with its thick triggers, R1 shooting and convex analogs.

Another thing that makes 360 controls better is the fact that the 360 user interface is faster than the PS3's. Obviously it's not the DualShock3's "fault", but it further helps to make the 360 control experience more streamlined altogether.

There is one thing however that's better on PS3, it seems that it's less of a reach for the thumb to press a face button from the right analog stick position.

Hope they keep it. Its the best controller ever designed IMO.

Even though i dont have a 360 anymore I do use the controller for playing PC games on the TV.

2 things I want changed/improved.

1. The D-Pad, how on earth did MS spend millions developing this controller to end up with the worst D-Pad ever made.
2. The ring of lights around the logo button. When Im playing games in the dark, that bright green light is just glaring right into my eyes.

I dont have a problem going back and forth between the PS3 and 360 controller but I do prefer the alignment of the analog sticks on the PS3 controller.

Better D-Pad. Other than that it's hard to really fix perfect.

Give it an internal battery-pack (having to change batteries is a chore as I almost never have a new pair, it will also make it more comfortable to hold), redesign the d-pad (separate the directions), flatten the face-butttons a tiny bit more, reduce the sqeakiness of the triggers and voila. Near perfection.

Yeah, the controller is really good. But the only fault (doesn't bother me, but most ppl) is the battery pack, remove that and be able to charge the controller like the PS3 would be great. Also keep that new d-pad, amazing. :D

It's difficult to keep your thumb om the left analog and press the left bumper with your index finger. That is the reason why the Gamecube controller has a right bumper, but not a left one.

I love the 360 controllers, but there definitely is room for improvement.

- Redesigned D-pad

- Two customizable buttons on the back near where your middle fingers rest

- A bit of a redesign for the analog sticks, they seem to wear out quicker compared to a PS3 controller

- A new freaking battery that isn't retarded. =P The current type they're using, after a while, will be fussy and won't recharge most of the time if until you let it die most of the way first.

And something that I really wish would happen; Come out with a new Windows Phone, but more powerful, and let us use it as an addon for the Xbox "720" controller, raised above the analog sticks but on an adjustable mechanism sort of thing so you can position the screen where you want it. Give it some decent storage, and let us sign in with our gamertag account and access our purchased content, like 360/"720" games/movies/music/etc so we can take it on the go. Also give it functionality with the next Xbox so it could be used alongside the system itself.

As examples:
- Bing Web browser to look things up on the fly
- Webcam/mic to talk with friends while gaming (whether they're using it through the phone, or the console itself)
- Scroll through and select your downloaded music without interrupting your game
- Use as a map in RPGs
- Show our character stats/inventory in an RPG
- Use as a radio controlled robot in modern/futuristic shooters
- Use as a gun cam, like the Corner Shot, in modern/futuristic shooters

There are tons of different options that you could do with it, and it would give Microsoft something to compete with, and annihilate, Nintendo's neat, but seemingly lacking, Wii U controller.

Buut, I know that it won't happen, so I'll just have to keep dreaming instead. =(

Went from not playing an Xbox OG to 360, love the controller. I actually find using the childlike-sized PS3 controller pretty hard to do. They should modify it a bit, so it looks like a slightly different controller.

my opinion xbox change the point finger buttons and d pad.
playstation get new indent analogs like the 360s.

just make the bumpers into buttons like l1 l2 and it perfect i like the weight the shape and everything about the 360 controller, i wana use the 360 controller shell on my ps3 rite now

It's a beautifully designed controller and I hope they don't change it. But I would really like to see a change for the PS controller.

The d-pad sucks. Perfect my ass. Everything else is top notch but the controller could do with some enhancements.

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau

Helix will be expensive but it's still a day one for me.

Oh, my days...
So Nadella meets with the US president multiple times to ensure AI regulations are minimal if any at all, donates to the inauguration and ballroom, and his boy not only won't regulate AI as farmers lose land and billionaires/corporations buy up farmland to build data centers...but because he's insane and compromised, he starts a war on behalf of a rogue colonial zionist state and [further] destabilizes the Middle East, restricting component access and helium supply.

Now the head of Xbox is saying the hardware pricing "could impact" next generation hardware pricing? Asha,...your boss at a minimum played a direct role in this. What are we even talking about?

Yea because a $3 trillion company can’t absorb the majority of the cost to keep the product lower for consumers.

Expensive… oh no, here comes another flop.

Could? Strange how prices rise for virtually everything we buy, yet when things settle down, prices don't come down. This has been happening in the UK probably before I was born. With that, how much is a next gen console going to cost? Look at the price of the PlayStation 5 Pro, which has been a flop for Sony. On that note, we don't need the next consoles for another 5 years.

I guarantee if people just stopped buying this kinda stuff all together. This would all be sorted within 2 weeks and everything would be back to normal.

We seen the exact same thing through the COVID period. Companies just jumped on the bandwagon realising that they can get away with charging far more under false pretences and fear mongering.

Consumers now have this fear of "you know what, I only live once. I'm going to spend all this money I earned through my hard work" Or "I only live once I'm going to take a loan out and enjoy my time here".

Silicone Valley spends literally billions of dollars researching how much they can push society to the limits to increase spending. You can research it yourself. There's published written documentation about it. Have a look for yourself into their group research into subscription programs to see how evil they are and why it's such a giant focus of current civilization. Its the very essence of corporate capitalism.

Just delay all new consoles. I could easily go another 5 years with my base PS5.

could? it's already affecting current gen pricing.

It is greed. Apple are selling at the same price, while Microsoft Surface increases 500$ per unit. Karma will tell.
