The Xbox and PlayStation fans have been waging war over which console is better for years. And there is still no definitive answer to that question. Both consoles are on par with each other in the hardware and software aspects. So the only deciding factor that remains is their looks.
And the console makers know this fact, as both of them try to make their consoles and controllers as attractive as possible. With the recently launched Spider-man 2 controller, the fans of these two consoles are once again debating on the age-old question.

Both custom controllers are unique in their characteristics. The Starfield controller has brought the excitement of a sci-fi adventure for fans of the game into the real world. The controller has a two-tone grip with custom button mapping. Furthermore, the bronze metallic D-pad and the transparent triggers to view bronze rumble motors add to its beauty.
On the other hand, the Spider-Man 2 controller shows a symbiote dominance theme like the game. The controller portrays a symbiote engulfing the red shade of Spider-Man. With a red-black design with blue detailing, the controller embodied the colors of Spider-Man 2. However, Xbox and PlayStation fans are still comparing the two controllers to find out a better one by commenting on PeterOvo’s tweet.
Fans rumble over which custom controller is better looking
The fans are giving their take on which controller they feel is superior. Multiple Xbox fans have come forward to support the Starfield controller.
If i would have painted a spider and red graphics on the corner of a PS5 console and controller nobody would care. But Sony does it and everyone acts like it's amazing.

More effort was put into the Starfield controller. A lot of smaller details that covers the entire pad. The Spider-Man controller isn’t terrible but it just looks like there wasn’t much thought put into it.
