Just because Sony made the DS4 a huge improvement over the piece of crap DS3; that doesn't make it the best. It's definitely the best PlayStation controller ever by far and overall I consider it good enough that I'm not cursing anytime I have to use it like I was with the previous dualshock controllers, but it is still inferior to Xbox controllers and even some Nintendo controllers.
The DS4 still has many flaws like terrible battery life, cheap rubber on the analog sticks, bad left analog stick placement for modern games, while the triggers are improved over the DS4 they still are inferior to the Xbox triggers, and while the overall build and ergonomics of the controller are a huge improvement over previous dualshock controllers, it is still not as comfortable to hold as a Xbox controller.
The only advantage the DS4 has over Xbox controllers is a far better d-pad; in fact, I think the DS4 has the greatest d-pad of all time, so I definitely prefer to use it over any other controller for retro-style games, but for modern-style games, the DS4 is decent and a big improvement over Sony's previous controllers, but there are better controllers out there.
