BirdsFanBill Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Surprisingly, Agent didn't start an Xbox Series X thread. So here we go. Debuts Holidays 2020 Will be good to have when the pandemic resurfaces next winter. From what I've read they are not expecting delays due to COVID-19, but I'm not really sure how that's possible.

Lol fair enough. I do hear a lot of complaints about the controller. I've pretty much owned both iterations of each system (xbox/PS) over the years and don't mind either controller. They are different but to me they both seem to work well. Maybe I'm just used to both from years of using both and it doesnt bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Much prefer Xbox controller. Ps5 even is attempting to shift towards a more xbox style. They just continue to keep the left stick down which isn't as comfortable or ergonomic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How? PS5's controller is right in line with all the other ps controllers. You say you proved that wrong and now he says it's just an opinion lol.

Good work Agent lol I was referring to where he was claiming the placement of the PS joystick isn’t comfortable of ergonomic, which is patently false. Both ps joysticks are located in the natural position your thumbs want to rest/position when your hands/palms are wrapped around a controller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the left stick is used almost 100% of the time in virtually all video game types and the placement of their left stick is the location where your thumb naturally wants to position itself when at rest. All xbox fanboys fap right-handed because their left hand is too cramped from always having to awkwardly hold it in an upward position when playing their pew pew pew games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nintendo switch pro controller is laid out like an Xbox controller. I don't hate it but it's definitely a pain in the arse because I keep wanting to move and I hit the D pad thinking that's where the left stick should be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So like where x and O would be on the PS controller it's the opposite on the Nintendo controller. I've been playing for a few months and it still has me all effed up!

I've been playing for a few months and it still has me all effed up! the original play station buttons were set up with the X and O being symbolic of like cancel/accept (or yes/no, good/bad)... basically what you used in early PS games as your two buttons for entering and exiting menus, decisions, etc. The square was meant to be something like "information" with the square shape representing a piece of paper. I think they used it a lot to open menus or maps or whatever. The triangle shape was symbolic of something else too but I will have to look it up and report back. It's been a loooong time lol but XBOX just copied nintendo, sega, etc. where they used american alphabet letters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't talking about that. I was talking about the ergonomics. The PS5 controller is definitely bigger. Weird how Nintendo's pro controller also is like Xbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
