The problem I have is that the xbox controller cost the same as the ps4 ones do and I have to buy batteries for the xbox and the ps4 I only have to charge in every other day I do nut play my xbox for this reason

That means the battery doesn't degrade over time and the controller will have a much longer shelf life. You only have to buy one good set of eneloop batteries every few years, it's really not much of an inconvenience.

Yeah, but these rechargeable lithium ion batteries Sony uses last years. The one in my PS3 controller is still working fine.

Same here. I have a ps5, but I kept my ps3 in another room and the controllers are still perfectly functional. Same with the ps4 ones

Thats what rechargeable AAs are for. They are nice to have and can be used for other things too. You wont ever have to buy a new Xbox controller just cuz of battery issues either
