The reason, many years ago, I went with the Xbox was the controller. I absolutely hate the DS controller you get as standard with the various versions of the Playstation. They were just so small and awkward, even painful, to use for lengthy periods of time.

So if I move from Xbox to Playstation it will be no big deal moving my subscription as well. But before I buy the PS4 I will wait to see what controllers become available.

I assume there is a reason for it but I never understood the reason why Sony stuck with that 1 controller design for all these years. If third party designers could produce Xbox like controllers then why couldn't Sony.

Do you as FPS players prefer the DS3 controller over an Xbox controller clone produced by a third party for the Playstation?

And I realise many prefer KB&M over any controller but this question is for those who use the controller most if not all of the time.

the sony controller is superior in any way and the size is perfect. I am sorry for you that you have crippled fingers and cant use it :)

the xbox controller feels like a brick.

You only pay one subscription fee for gaming on all platforms (PS4, PS3, Vita) but if you go the next 3-5 years on only PS3, can you remain with free multiplayer??? hmmmmm Also are Publishers going to keep their online passes etc on Sony titles since Sony is allowing used games. Interesting times ahead.

If programming on PS3 is like shooting a beach ball into a basketball hoop, why would you continue doing that when you can now throw a volley ball or tennis ball into the hoop. I cant believe that CCP isnt playing around with PS4 dev kits to see if they will just bring over their engine or use Unreal4 or whatever to develop.

I know sony guys like the DS but everytime they do polls etc the XBox controller is preferred and many consider it the best controller. Not an issue though as there will be 3rd party controllers and I'm sure other accessories that will allow you to use either control on your desired system
