I grew up with a PS1 and PS2 so I can't really be objective here for Xbox stuff. I've never tried them, and I've always had a great time with the Playstation console. From the games, the performance, to the controller designs themselves; it's been a staple for my childhood and even now I have a DS4 controller that can be used for my PC if I ever want to run emulators for old Playstation games. It's pretty fun and my mind's kinda in-tune with the button placement and position of the PS controller that I can probably still activate the GTA San Andreas cheat codes I've used as a kid.
