Overview

PlayStation Sony PlayStation DualShock 4 Controller - Black sits in our legacy systems listings, where we rank by how buyers actually rate a product rather than by brand. The manufacturer says: Get to grips with an elegant, super comfortable design, while highly responsive analog sticks and buttons mean greater precision during gameplay. Use the SHARE button to upload your gameplay videos and pictures on social networks. Stream live gameplay to Twitch. Those are the seller's own claims rather than our testing, so treat them as a starting point. On Amazon it holds 3.8 out of 5 from 191 ratings. What that score is worth next to its rivals is set out below.

How it compares in Legacy Systems

Across the 43 rated legacy systems products we track, the typical score is 4.4 out of 5. This one sits at 3.8, which is in the bottom quarter of the category. That does not make it a bad buy, but there are better-rated alternatives on the same shelf, so it needs another reason to earn your money.

It carries 191 ratings against a category median of 3,874. That is a thin base by the standards of this category, so treat the score as provisional: a handful of extra reviews can still move it either way.

On price it sits in the upper third of a category running from £2.99 to £375, where the midpoint is about £13.99. Paying above the category norm needs a reason beyond the rating, because the score alone does not justify the gap here.
