It looks like Sony had higher quality joysticks in PS3 controllers than they do in PS4 and PS5.

    Never had an issue with any systems controllers until the ps5 and the switch. The switch at least was forced to fix this for free because of how bad it was, and I used the service once so far. Ps5 is just awful… I have had mine since launch and am about to buy a 4th controller because all the rest have had drift. They last about a year on avg, and the same for all my friends as well. I don’t know how they are allowed to do this without the same legal issues Nintendo had. I need a new controller really bad right now, but pissed I have to spend another $60 on this crap…

      I’m guessing it’s because Nintendo has a much broader reach with casuals, so there is a higher likelihood that people with legal know how will end up experiencing it first hand and can react accordingly.
