The Xbox 360 hasn’t been having a good time of it lately, with poor sales, and even more dire predictions for the future of the Microsoft console. But at least Xbox owners can console themselves with the fact that their controller lasts the longest!
The Xbox 360 hasn’t been having a good time of it lately, with poor sales, and even more dire predictions for the future of the Microsoft console. But at least Xbox owners can console themselves with the fact that their controller lasts the longest!
Okay, it might not be too much to write home about, but a small, insignificant and inconsequential victory is a victory none the less. In this age of wireless controllers, and people who play for far too long on their console of choice, it’s at least worth looking at how each compares.
Gamepro decided to put the three main home consoles controllers up against each other in a test to the death, and logged when each died from having their batteries run out.
In last place came the Sony PS3, with its Sixaxis controller. Although it is the only one of the three which can be recharged, giving it a healthy advantage over the lifespan of the console, and saving the gamer a packet of money, it died after just 18 hours and 41 minutes.
In second was the Nintendo Wii’s combination of Nunchuck and Remote. As Gamepro rightly points out, they are the most technologically advanced controllers on the market, and the sole reason for buying a Wii over a PS3 or Xbox 360. However, this didn’t help them last longer than the Xbox 360 controller, clocking in at 36 hours and 43 minutes. This was conducted using Duracell batteries, and default controller settings.
Which just leaves the Xbox 360 controllers, which despite having no fancy name, and not being anything very special, won the test by a country mile. One Xbox 360 controller lasted an incredible 56 hours and 56 minutes, again using Duracell batteries.
This proves absolutely nothing, except that Xbox 360 owners aren’t going to have to change the batteries in their controllers very often, but it was worth posting just to give them a much needed excuse to have a go at their PS3 and Wii owning friends.
