8 Reasons PS4 Owners Are Jealous Of The Xbox One

2. The New Elite Controller Future-Proofs For Any Game

Have you seen the new Elite controller? It's a babe. Right now it's just a little too pricey for its own good, but the positives far outweigh the negatives once you start thinking long term.

Battery life has proven to be the same as the standard controller (around 15 hours), and when you combine everything together, it's a no-brainer as to what's better versus the DualShock's terrible analogue rubber and paltry charge duration.
