For me it depends on what type of game your playing. The 360 controller works for most games that require real time skill and dexterity like fps's and action adventure games. The Ps3 controller handles better for games (and gamers) that require more contemplative controls like rpg's and platforming. The PS controller hasn't changed in 3 generations so it's been a constant but the 360 is still new and as I play with it more and more, i get a deep appreciation for for how intuitive it's developers were in matching what gamers need for high performance games. Particularly I have to point out the placement of the analogues and the D-pad, It's really a large improvement for the optimization of eye-hand coordination and if the PS3 were to adopt it, it would even this argument out down to pure aesthetics.
The 360 controller hands down the PS3 controller is an absolute abortion it's too light and feels like it could snap at any second.
ps3 has a better feel, easier to reach buttons, and smoother triggers, 360 controller is a bit too big for it to feel natural for me, although both dont get close to a gamecube controller
With each controller, I had only one complaint, both easily fixed by an add-on purchase. The 360 had me picking up the $20 wireless adapter kit and the PS3 had me picking up a pair of $5 "PS3 Dual Triggers" off of Amazon.karp250 said:
The triggers work great. They snap onto the PS3 triggers and then you can forget all about the one major design flaw of the PS3 controller.
The Xbox 360 controller, if we are choosing solely between those two. I've used Xbox controllers for most of my modern generation gaming, so the design is most ergonomic with my hands.
..But the Gamecube controller fucking kicks them both out of the water, end game.

PS3 controller. I like to have the joysticks properly placed. The Xbox is a great console 'n' all, but my left hand starts to fall asleep after 30-ish minutes, and I get cramps if I use it for more than an hour =/
I prefer the 360 controller. My hands are kind of big, so it just feels a lot better holding it.
Besides, I really like the trigger buttons a lot better; they just feel more precise than the PS3 ones. My fingers tend to slip off them.

This whole thread seems to be:
"Well I own both systems, and I don't even like playing "system A" because of the controller but the controller for "system B" fits in my hand perfectly."
I used to own shit with the gigantic original Xbox controller. Hell, you put any controller in my hands, I'll own shit. All the people arguing are really just disgusting fanboys.

The PS3 controller is small in my hands and feels cheap and fragile. Which is funny, since the controllers I have have endured longer than my 360 ones.
However, I will totally take the 360's controller every time. I was never big on the PS setup, but it was my main console inboth the PS1 and 2 days, so I had to deal.

360 easily. It's larger, it feels more natural and I prefer the triggers. It also looks better.
Xbox. The analog sticks are natural, easier to use the trigger and shoulder buttons and naturally fits your hand.
