Well, it's the best cursor on a console but . . . (Destiny)

The PS3 on-screen keyboard is absolutely abysmal. I don't think I've ever seen a slower or more awkward method of eletronically making words. I think it's possible to use a USB or bluetooth keyboard on that platform though.

I remember the OoBE for the PS3 being one of the worst ever. You need to sign up for a PlayStation account to use it online, which entails entering an email address. And the @ symbol was hidden behind a sub-keyboard. Every single person who bought a PS3 (and connected it to the internet) would have to do this and they still never thought to put it on the main keyboard.

PS4, I have no idea. It can't possibly be as bad as the PS3, given how much everyone who has a PS4 seems to like it.

Definitely an improvement - you can use the touchpad to move a cursor around to individual letters (a little finicky but occasionally useful).
