3. Controller Design
This is an important point. Aesthetically, the Xbox controller is better designed. The thumbsticks do not collide with each other when the player uses it; they should not change this. What they absolutely should change is the fact that you can not re-charge your Xbox controller. I'm sure this will be addressed in the next-gen console (it has to be) because some gamers have spent hundreds of dollars on buying new 'AA' batteries to charge their controller. In my experience, a single charge can last the Xbox controller a good 20 to 30 hours of play time before the batteries die out. Sony was on the right track when they designed their controllers to be rechargable.
