PlayStation 5 vs Xbox Series X controller
The DualSense controller for PS5 is a major upgrade on the DualShock 4 for PS4. It s more ergonomic and made of higher quality material, but most importantly, it adds to the gaming experience with haptic feedback and trigger resistance. Microsoft had both (or something similar) with the Xbox One controller, but Sony is pushing those systems further with the DualSense.
Microsoft has kept things much the same with the new Xbox Wireless Controller. It s got a new “Share” button borrowed from DualShock 4, and a modified D-pad borrowed from Xbox Elite Controller. Unfortunately, Microsoft still doesn t offer in-built rechargeable batteries, preferring to give consumers choice (the AA batteries route), but I think that s the wrong move.
