PS3 and Xbox 360 Controllers

There is one main difference between the PS3 and Xbox 360 controllers and the Wii Controller, And that is the PlayStation and Xbox controller is designed to be played with both hands, while the Wii remote is designed to be played with one. This is because Nintendo intended to revolutionise console gaming by making it more active and simulate sports like tennis and golf. This is what has made the Wii a massive success in family entertainment. I'm going to focus on the PS3 and Xbox controller.

The Ergonomics behind the xbox controller

Back in the day, when the original Xbox was in its user testing phase, the original controller got a lot of stick. Shortly after release, it was soon obviously a new controller was needed. Therefore Microsoft took up the task of redesigning the controller, this time with ergonomics in mind. They came up with the smaller designed controller similar to the one we see today.

By the time the Xbox 360 was released the controller was practically perfect. Gamers utilizing first person shooter games thought it was perfect for their needs. So aside from a few tweaks here and there, the controller was kept and released with the Xbox 360. Thus this is how Microsoft became aware that ergonomics were important and needed to be recognised.

Now even certain PlayStations are wireless, including their controllers. Take for instance the Xbox 360 wireless controller. This controller has just been revealed, it makes playing this game more interesting and uncomplicated.

These controllers are quite advanced because the distance between them and the screen you are using is now longer compared to when they had cables. Despite the increase in distance they maintain their accuracy and the response is quite good. Their physical appearances are more attractive and their weight is a bit lighter than before weighing 281g compared to the original 363g. It has rechargeable battery that lasts you between 20 and 40 hours gaming time before you need to recharge. It can be recharged via the controller's USB ports. For those that spend hours gaming away, this is clearly better than buying battery every time they run out.

In terms of functionality and design everyone is in agreement that its a great improvement from the original design. It is much smaller and fits into the hand comfortably. The layout of the buttons is still similar but the positioning makes them easy to access. They have even added two buttons labeled RB and LB for easier use. One oversight that was overlooked is that the controller cannot be turned off manually, you have to wait for it auto switch off.For more information you need to visit this video game controllers  r4i card site fyygame.com
