My fight stick recently broke so I am in the market for a new one. I currently play SFIV on PS3, however the online community for PS3 seems to have shrunk and the connections are not great. My next fight stick will be a commitment to PS3 or 360. What platform should I commit to?
Street Fighter IV
Game » consists of 9 releases. Released Jul 18, 2008
After nearly a decade in hiatus, Capcom's signature mainline fighting game series resurfaces with its fourth main installment, combining the traditional 2D gameplay with modern fully-3D graphics.
For those playing SFIV on 360 and PS3.
I would say 360 cause the community isn't shrinking. And are you getting a regular stick or a tournament edition.
I am getting one of these sticks.

Or the PS3 versions of them.
You can use the PS3 sticks on a PC in case you get nostalgic and want to play other past fighters with friends. If the 360 stick can do that too there would be no difference then. Also, SSF4 is coming up so I'm pretty sure it will invigorate the community again.
I got both the hori and the TE stick for ps3. TE is definitely better, but Hori is good too.
The nice thing is they both work on the computer, I leave the Hori as my computer main and the TE as my SF4 main.
from justin wong's weekly q and a post:" @Thrawn said:
" according to justin wong the ps3 version lags. however supposedly the ps3 players are better at fighting games. "Is this a serious post? "
" I personally play on xbox and the fact that PS3 lags alot affects my gameplay a bit. I miss combos I usually never miss..."
I'd suggest a TE for the 360, the stick itself is rock solid and you'll find more online gamers on Xbox Live.
Most players are on 360, I think that's a given. This goes for tournament level players as well, we can make a silly list comparing the two if you really want to go there.

"it can. the appeal people get when choosing sticks is that a PC stick can work on a PS3 with little to no trouble while its impossible for a PC designed stick to work on a 360.
