It's an age-old debate in the world of video gaming: is the PlayStation controller more comfortable than the Xbox ones?

Whichever side of the debate players fall on, the PS3 controller certainly had a number of advantages over the 360 that made things pretty redundant over the course of the seventh generation console wars.

The Xbox 360 controllers were all strictly wireless, meaning that having them die mid-game was a fairly common occurrence players had to deal with during the console's lifetime. There's nothing more infuriating than having to scramble across the house looking for two double As just to get back to the action. It was something that was pretty outdated even for the time, and it's something that still stands out as one of the biggest drawbacks of the console.

As for the PS3, players have the option of playing wireless like with the 360, or with the charging wire attached to the console.

Microsoft did eventually release play and charge kits that did allow players to use controllers without batteries, but these would have to be bought separately and only matched what the PS3 could do from the off.
