But it is enough to buy another third-party exclusive from Sony or to guarantee more exclusive content for third-party games.

I bought a DualShock 3 recently and I fucking love it. Honestly, best controller ever made. I don't know how I ever put up with my SIXAXS lol

Until you add the inverted triggers, you don't love your controller.

Sixasses was such a cheap piece of shit, It hasnt been touched since I got the DS3. 360 controller still owns all though.

Inverted triggers? No thanks. You see, I can actually keep my finger on the trigger and not have it slip. It's no challenge. And yes, I love my controller. I hope the analogs also stay in the same placement.

Actually all of this depends on a person's opinion, of course. Inverted triggers is okay, but should be only for shooters. IMHO, the 360 triggers sucks when it comes to instant pressing. Like in Condemned 2, its slow and sometimes doesn't read my actions, or currently Army of Two when you try to melee an enemy. However, most GOOD games on the PS3 use the R1 & L1 buttons for the main attack buttons. The PS3's Triggers (L2 & R2) sucks and should ONLY be used as a secondary button like the 360's (RB AND LB). By secondary I mean stuff like switching weapons or something.


BTW, I do not speak for everyone, this is just my opinion. I like each controller for special games.
Like the 360's big snug fit and kick-ass left thumbstick placing on the controller for shooters. And the PS3 controller's small easy hold, its D PAD, and the flat more-instant face buttons for fighting/hack'n'slash games and maybe survival horrors (that would need that kinda swiftness).

It is, I mean do you really thing any other company could have make a game console that's successful?

Say whatever you like but the Xbox and Halo redefined gaming as we know it. (whether is for the best or for that worse it's up to you to decided)

LMAO, the only thing that redefinded was a small percentage of the gaming community into becoming "hardc00rzz!!" elitist bastards that isolate and seclude themselves to one another while bannishing any and every thing not a carbon copy of it. (i.e. Wii, non FPS genre, non Microsoft made consoles, the female gender, daylight, friends they actually have seen in person)

He's kind of right... Halo and the Xbox did bring a lot to gaming, and had the Xbox not been around, obviously the 360 wouldn't be around, and the PS3 wouldn't be as impressive as it is, nor would it have an internal hard drive.

I agree with Wiinterland- the original Xbox and the 360 have both majorly affected gaming, for better or worse.

I'm smoking the eyeopening bong of truth.

Think about it, if the xbox and halo had never existed then shooters would have stayed on PC and Japan would have continue to be the mayor market.

But when the halo crazed over the world a lot of new American companies opened, being they famous the American development manage to rise and become equal and in some case best than the Japan one.

Now thanks to that A bunch of American companies had become rich an that help the American economy and make gaming more popular and Mainstream.


Just look at the new rosters, while I'm not fond of shooters I have to agreed that Halo has become the most influential game of the last generation whether some like it or not.

Kapow.

Any of you aspiring businessmen take note. This is how you secure resources, albeit with timely limits , and screwing over your competition a little bit at a time.

Kudos to those suits at Microsoft for saving some cash from patent trolls, and at the same time helping out this patent troll Immersion by asking Sony to ante up.

Anyone would think all of you were getting a slice of the cash the way you're going on :S Lol

20 mill is a nice little bonus, but its nothing that Microsoft couldn't have made themselves in a couple of months ^^

Anywho, I suppose thats great news on Microsoft's part, so kudos to them :) That should mean being spent on the production of something entirely new, look forward to it.

$20.75 million? That's almost twice as much money as what the 360 has made in Japan!

Alternativly, they could spoil the gamers who have spent most of thier lives raising thier gamerscore so that they feel worthy to live in society again and thier work wasn't in vain.

But knowing Micro, that won't happen, lmao

Yeah just replace FPS with Ratchet and Clank or MSG4, and Microsoft with Sony and that's your typical Sony fanboy. cuts both ways bruh
