This will only make them look bad since DualSense reveal will (most likely) become the most liked videogame related tweet ever

It feels like a bad move marketing wise imo since it is obvious the new stuff will get the attention and unless they show something new it will only be embarassing
It's just a tweet lol. We doing this thing again on Era where we blow shit out of proportion and make it bigger than it actually is.

PS5 controller looks fresh whether you like the looks or not, the Xbox controller looks like...well another Xbox controller.

At the end of the day, only one company is investing in Elite controllers.

Default controllers are trash tier.

User Warned: Console wars


Console Wars ... am I right or am I right.



For Reference, earlier in the day PlayStation showed off the PS5 DualSense controller as (Xbox Controller) then became the most popular trending word on twitter as people. compared the DualSense to the Xbox controller.

Sony seems to be following Nintendo by designing a controller similar to an Xbox 360 pad. Maybe this was for comparison?

I don't get the console war narrative here. What's wrong with showcasing the new button of your new controller when your competitor releases theirs?

The PS5 controller looks more like a Nintendo pro controller. I hope Nintendo also posts a gif.

Is the point that the Xbox controller buttons are actual raised buttons, unlike whatever is happening with that joke ps5 controller?

I feel like Microsoft really dropped the ball with the XSX controller. It's too conservative in terms of design and functionality. I'm disappointed that it doesn't have any new features like motion controls

Xbox by far has the better controller. They're going to need more than that though to get my money. Put a gyro in it and I'll buy one for my Switch though.

Eh, I don't think it's needed. The XB1 controller is largely very good though I don't like the triggers.

That being said, I would have liked seeing them try something a little new like Sony is doing.

... lol they look nothing alike.

Twitter is weird.

THe Playstation 5 controller now has Xbox/Dreamcast style hand grips which is what makes it look like an Xbox controller.

Dual shocks have in the past had shorter more rounded hand grips.

There is no denying that, it looks like an aftermarket PS controller replicating Xbox style ergonomic handgrips.
