Playstation, it's not ideal but it makes the controller feel less obstructive

And I completed Mile High Club on Veteran using an Xbox controller so I'd like to think I know what I'm talking about

The analog stick placement really shows its weakness on the Switch

Xbox.

saspa posted...
How so?

The joystick is at the same position as the four buttons on the right side of the controller, so both hands hold the controller in the same way, makes it feel more natural.

That being said, I never had troubles with how the Playstation joystick was either. But since you asked, the Xbox one is better.

SO as a result of this, does that controller on google images for the nintendo switch share the same preferable layout that xbox has?

Eh

Nintendo and Xbox have been doing it for around the same time; that asymmetrical design goes as far back as the Gamecube.

For multimedia I use the wireless ps3 controller whereas for gaming I use a corded xbox original third party controller. Have to be honest I use my ps3 slim mostly for multimedia.

For most games it's the Xbox design. For games that use the Dpad more than analog stick the Sony design is better but most games use analog stick more.

The only time PS > Xbox is when you're playing a 2D platformer. Mega Man Legacy Collection, 9, and 10 played much better on PS3/PS4 than on 360/One.

The Xbox left-stick feels like a more neutral and relaxed position, and I feel it's range of movement is a little more precise and stable.

The DS4 obviously evolved from a different lineage, where on the original PS1 the D-Pad was the more used input device and thus got priority on the controller. They kept that design for parity on the Dualshock 2 and onwards. Can't say I blame them, since I feel there is a miniscule difference at best between the two designs.

Now, if we're talking trigger buttons then Xbox (360 > Xbone > XBOX) takes the cake by a more measurable margin.

There's a reason why 3rd party controllers copy the xbox layout more frequently than the ps one.

Don't forget fighters

playing a fighter is pretty much impossible using the Switch's D-buttons and god bless if you're using an Xbox D-Pad

Xbox style, feels more intuitive and comfortable for an analogue stick to be across from the main face buttons.

I don't really have a preference since I use both. I think the XB1 controller is better for FPS games while the PS4 is better for most other genres.

Wii U Pro has both sticks at the top actually. To match the Gamepad.

Only people who have never used both think this

It's significantly wider, different curves, no fat battery pack on the back, comfortable grips, good buttons and sticks that don't make annoying clanking noises, digital triggers, insane battery life, and proper ABXY layout

Xbox.

Both at the top would actually be preferable though.

Both at the bottom is the worst setup because it requires you to constantly extend your thumbs when they should be in a resting position.

The only reason Playstation has both at the bottom is because it was an addendum to the original SNES-like controller. They would have had to completely redesign it if they wanted better stick placement. The layout continued into today because the loyalists would complain about its "identity" being snubbed.
