Most gamers and I prefer ps4 controllers because of their new design on the trackpad. the trackpads allow you to move from one place to another really quickly. Also, the ps4 controllers come with build in rechargeable batteries and feels really good on hand. The Xbox one on the other hand didn’t change that much. The Xbox one feels the same as the previous generation and you have to go out of your way and get a rechargeable battery with sucks after spending money to buy an expansive gaming console.
