Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and Wii - Controller Comparison

2008-01-21
hey guys what's up John here um sunday night here in the United States I can't sleep figured I actually hence the hence the bedhead figured i'd make a little video throw up on the site and youtube so what i'm going to do today is I'm going to compare the controllers of the three main video game consoles the Nintendo Wii the xbox 360 and the playstation 3 give you guys a little bit comparison show you sighs and i'll talk about wait can we show that in the video so first up xbox 360 wireless controller all the controllers are going to show her the wireless this is the only one that can't have a wire but it's got a first battery pack in the back at removable this also comes in a wired version which i'm not going to show you guys it's not terribly heavy feels good in the hands it's got full-on Rumble support built-in analog stick and look sick your old classic up and down and then the you know a BB buttons around here ABX and why i believe start button the Xbox button take you to xbox live which is xbox live is amazing by the way if you guys haven't checked it out VI should do a video on that start button shoulder buttons on top here here here and here down here is where you can plug in your wired headset to use on xbox live when you're playing games and here is where you charge a headset proprietary port plugs into your xbox for wireless this does not use bluetooth uses a Microsoft proprietary wireless format so it has how it transmits wirelessly next up is the PlayStation 3 6 axis controller Travon really had that much of a chance to play around with I downloaded a couple games from the PlayStation Store but mostly i'm using my playstation 4 blu-ray movies which i should do another video on they look pretty good i guess it looks like a regular place in playstation controller haven't had a playstation prior but my remembers what they look like you know the two analog sticks this does not have Rumble support as of right now I know they're adding it it's got your up and down and then your classic PlayStation button to diamond the X the triangle the X a circle and square for shoulder buttons like Xbox controller select and start and a button that launches the console turn the donner turns on the controller which is nice I should say to that both of these can't turn on the console and turn off the console just by using their buttons in the middle this controller I just turned it on and you can see right there the light tells you if you have one controller connected to connected or three connected which was extremely light I mean almost weighs nothing i'm shocked at how little it weighs almost like to have more weight to it the reasons called six axis is actually works similar to the wii controller which I'll show you in a minute in that fact that it's got the gyro CENTAC gyroscopic sensors let me turn to the left at no turning to the left to turn to the right nobody turn it to the right you know up down is the same so that's that's pretty neat haven't a chance to play around that yet but that's what it does and charges by a mini USB port right here to plug into the USB port on the console next controller I'll show you guys is the wii remote or wiimote review guys call it this is certainly very different together three and i'll show you them all next to each other in a minute here maybe you guys have seen this maybe you haven't set the up and down power button big a button home and plus and minus and a one and two now the other controllers you hold them with two hands this way meant to hold one hand so i'll show you guys here get that frame you hold it almost like a remote control on the back there's a trigger button we rest your finger so as you're moving it you can hold down the a button the up or down on a keypad now this thing is lacking you know most of the button to other controllers because it's uses all motion sensored so up goes left right you know or right it goes right love to go left and you shake it does different motion which is really revolutionary for the week so that is the wii remote and one attach it to the wii remote is what's referred to as the nunchuck which is this it plugs right into the bottom this also has a gyroscopic sensor so this knows when you move it left or right and connected with a cord there you hold on each hands and certain movements do certain things so you can move them up shake it and they all do connect they all correspond to certain movements on the screen to the game you're playing so by comparison something like shaking is still left or right with the equivalent of hitting a button on the xbox 360 or the X button on the PlayStation 3 so here are the controllers take off the nunchuck for ya let me show you guys a quick size comparison the 38 if I can get this in frame for you xbox obviously PlayStation and the Wii Remote sorry that angles not so good for you there ma as you guys can see the xbox controller the PlayStation controller pretty similar in size xbox controller certainly heavier but i think that weight is welcome and the wii controllers smaller than all of them you know resting on top and resting on top you can barely see it by comparison as well I've deep to nunchuck here two guys can see it um actually little bigger than you think but it's just in your hand pretty nicely so there are the all the controllers kind of laid out for you just take a look there so what I have I have played my xbox a lot and the graphics on that are amazing and for what I've seen to the PlayStation the graphics look just as good as the as the xbox if not better movie that's out of the PlayStation hooked up with component ergo hdmi and the xbox hooked up with the component may be the difference the wii looks little cartoonish but the controls are the controls were fun I should also mention that the closest asian uses bluetooth so you can use any cell phone bluetooth headset to connect to the playstation online employed people anyway guys this was a controller video give myself some ideas for new videos the blu-ray all do review on i'll compare the xbox and playstation or you guys want to see and maybe something on the wii as long and I guys hope you're in bed that you guys can sleep I'm gonna give it another whirl here as also don't forget to check out the new website i'll post a little thing around here but it's john for lakers dot
