I always forget Xbox has a bigger market in the US.

I'm from SEA and up until the series One console just means Playstation here, I owned the first 3 generation and move to PC.

The series one controller is the first xbox layout I ever owned and the moment I hold it my brain goes "This makes more sense !" D-pads sucks ass though.

Maybe it's just cause I don't really play fps and Fighting and racing games ?

Yeah, someone mentioned haptic trigger in another thread and now I kinda want one. If only Sony makes one with an xbox layout lol, it probably looks ugly as hell with PS design.

I used to hate playstation controllers because they always felt really weird to hold. Even the PS4 controller was terrible for me. With the Dualsense PS5 controller though they just made it an xbox controller with playstation gimmicks and that was such a great move! It doesn't look too ugly either, since it's just the same basic shape as an xbox controller. It doesn't have the nice weight that an xbox controller has and I definitely prefer the joystick layout on xbox, but the haptic triggers, the hd rumble, the trackpad, and the gyro sensor are all things I don't think I can do without anymore!
