PS4 controller vs XB1 controller

I finally got to try the Xbox One controller at Gamestop today and I have to say I'm not impressed. It feel to clunky and uncomfortable to hold, while duashock is just perfect, at least for me.
 
The XB controller always will remind me of the N64 controller. Not looks-wise, just feel wise. No matter how you hold it, it never feels quite 'right' in your hand. The PS controller has the perfect ergonomics, it's weighted properly, and (I don't use XB much) I know where all the buttons are. I can't remember how many times I've died on games on the XB because I was looking for the 'Y'

I don't think it's fair to compare the xb controller with the atrocitie that was the n64 controller. I strongly prefer ds4 but my second choice definitely would be the xbone gamepad.
 
What breaks easily? I haven't had any issues yet.

Mostly sticky/broken button issues. There are plenty one can find through a quick Google search--namely problems with the triggers and thumbstick wear. My first controller had two issues. First, the right thumbstick would do its own thing when no one was touching it. I could get it to work, but then it would just look at the ground and render a game unplayable. My R2 button would also get stuck when I pressed it down. After talking to people from Sony for half a day I eventually got them to replace the controller--they made me pay for shipping, too. The new controller they sent me worked fine, but now its thumbsticks are starting to show significant wear and will eventually have to go get those little replacement grips you put over them.

Interesting. I play my PS4 for a few hours just about ever night, and have not had any issues like that yet. Hopefully I don't lol.
 
Ever since the Xbox 360 was released, Microsofts Xbox controllers have always been extremely comfortable. But growing up with a PS1 and eventually PS2 in the house I've always been partial to the Dualshock. The new Dualshock for the PS4 is a great controller and I'd give it the edge over the Xbox One controller.
 
I have always preferred the Playstation controller because it feel better on my hands, the xbox one is way bigger, seems heavier too, and the triggers are bigger too.
 
I liked the xbox 360 controller, but the xbone controller is a step backwards. I't not comfortable in my hands at all. The DS4 is great!
 
There is no right or wrong answer, all about preference. I had an Xbox 360 (permanent loan to a friend) and have a PS3, and prefer the PS3 controller over the Xbox and I do not have small hands. The PS4 controller is perfect now in my opinion, love the size and like the built in speaker and track pad, adds something different to controllers that really have not changed much in a long time
