Polar, a poll-conducting company, said that gamers favor the PS4 controller by a 3-to-1 margin, Design & Trend reports.

The poll asked whether gamers prefer the PS4 DualShock 4's triggers or the Xbox One's triggers. 2,147 participants voted in favor of the DualShock 4's triggers, and 743 gamers indicated that they favor the Xbox One's controller, Design & Trend also reports.

But controller triggers aren't the only thing next-generation console fans are buzzing about.

Paying for PlayStation Plus is not necessary to access PlayStation 4's recording and sharing functionality, IGN reports, leaving gamers wondering if Microsoft's Xbox Live Gold, which requires users to subscribe, will fare out well.

Following earlier news that Xbox One's DVR feature requires users to subscribe to Xbox Live Gold, fans took to Twitter to ask Sony if this would be the case on PlayStation 4, to which president of SCE's worldwide studios Shuhei Yoshida said, definitively, "no" repeatedly, IGN writes.

But free streaming and recording capabilities aren't the only thing gamers monitoring the next-generation battle between Sony and Microsoft are keeping an eye out for.
