How do Xbox Players convince themselves that Microsoft were doing them a favor by NOT adding a built-in rechargeable battery inside their self-proclaimed "bEsT gAmInG cOnTrOlLeR"???

Phil Spencer should be ashamed of his brand and team for doing what they did and should IMMEDIATELY rectify this awful ANTI-CONSUMER and ANTI-ENVIRONMENTAL feature. The first exclusive I want to see in E3 isn't the Initiative's upcoming AAAAAAAAA game, but rather the exclusive feature of having a built-in RECHARGEABLE battery that's zero carbon-emission.

PlayStation has provided its customers with amazing built-in batteries that not only are rechargable but also DON'T LAST FOR 5+ hours to tackle the never-ending issue of GAMING ADDICTION. We need more brands to follow the moral and philosophical pillars of PlayStation in order to become better gamers and consumers in the future.

GOD BLESS AMERICA AND GOD BLESS PLAYSTATION

Removable rechargeable batteries are better than a built-in one. I won't buy an Elite 2 because of that. If the battery goes bad you have to replace the whole controller.
 
I bought an Xbox Elite controller series 1 instead of a series 2, and the main reason was because I did NOT want the internal battery on the series 2.

Rechargeable AA eneloops are the way to go. 40 hours of battery life, can be swapped out in 10 seconds and never have to deal with shit battery life after a few years, just replace the batteries, not the whole controller.
 
I'd rather SWITCH RECHARGABLE batteries than having an old ass internal battery that I could not replace yet REPLACE the old controller for a new one costing me more money.
 
I still remember when I used to play Xbox360 with my brother...we spend way too much batteries for that goddamn xbox controller. Still can't believe in all that money wasted.
 
Buy some rechargable batteries then. I prefer controllers using batteries because their controllers don't become useless or a project to fix when a lithium battery dies.
 
Xbox controller = use whatever AA batteries you want, rechargeable if you're not a cheapass.

DS4 = stuck permanently with a DOGSHIT tier rechargeable battery that, when it dies completely, you have a useless controller

Also, Xbox controller is ergonomically superior
 
Some of you are literally talking out of your asses as if you've ever personally owned the superior DualShock 4.

Who said you can't replace the internal battery? Can anyone prove this false misconception?

Spoken like a clueless fanboy.

 
My Xbox contoller last for a long time on two batteries. A giant pack of batteries that will last me for years costs $12. Meanwhile my PS controller lasts for a few hours now. A lot less then when I first bought it. I like the replaceable batteries better.
 
Dunno, I like being able to swap out batteries in 10s instead of having to sit on the shit place on the sofa and buckle forward live Quasimodo just to be able to play since the cord you get is shorter than my attention span.

or even better...replace the batteries with new ones. Takes 2 seconds and you don't have to watch youtube videos on how to change batteries.

Different strokes for different folks. I don't like to change batteries, hate doing it for my mouse.

It doesn't change the fact that he was spewing bs.
 
Eneloops in the controller and a pair charging. Swap them when needed. 100% wireless ALL the time. Love the Xbox controller for that.

My PS4's controller's battery sucks so bad I have to literally have it plugged in most of the time. That my friend, totally sucks.

I'll take swappable battery packs in my xb1 controller that last days over my DS4s 4 hour is what it is battery (Play and charge should come with the controller though 100%)

I hope both companies go with swappable batteries next gen.

Charge kit. From my experience, fully charged, lasts longer than the DS4

Yeah, about 4 times longer than the stupid DS 4.

I borrowed my old roommate's Switch to play BotW and and they do non-replaceable batteries right, his fully charged switch controller lasted almost twice as long as the Xbox controller which is about 8 or 9 times longer than the pos DS4.
 
Integrated recharable batteries suck donkey balls. Battery deteriorates? BUY A WHOLE NEW CONTROLLER THEN SHITBIRD! You're saying that is a more "pro consumer" stance that sony has taken? I'm on at least my 3rd ps4 controller because the batteries inside them blow ass and get to the point they wouldn't even hold a charge.

All I did was buy a rechargeable battery pack for my xbox controller and it works perfect, like how playstation's bullshit controllers should work. I've had it for years, there is a light on the charging cable that tells you when it's fully charged and it still has an hours long life on a single charge. My new DS4 I got around September has a noticably shorter life already... I'd rather buy a $20 rechargable battery pack than a $45-$60 controller every damn time. The DS4 is the best controller playstation has ever had and it still sucks ass.
 
DS4's battery is dog shit. It's gotten to the point where I no longer charge it but always have plugged in to the PS4. I own two of these POS controllers.

I'm well aware that, with tools and a video tutorial, you can swap the DS4 battery.

Why should you need to, though? Since Sony doesn't provide a built-in way to freely change their batteries, they are the ones being anti consumer in this situation.
