Im sure you can, but that doesn't mean one can't do it better then the other



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

I see voice controls and Kinect as a gimmick.

Just like Siri and S-Voice and all the other gimmicks that whilst sound cool, not many people actually use.

Motion gaming had its time with the Wii. I think a majority of people are over that phase.

double A batteries are the future. lawl

Seriously you brought up the type of batteries you use in the controller.  Eneloop for the win. Not only can I use them in a controller I can use them in other devices s well.  If the batteries run down I pop them out and pop in other rechargeables in moments.  Rather than have to be corded.


a device that says it's "all in one" need batteries. this is slap in the face. sorry you cant see it.

Yes built in batteries is what "all in one" means to me.  You caught me.


you purposely being dense? I buy a ps4 do I ever need new battery? no. I buy xbone it needs batteries every month. all-in-one no extra needed ever.

True, but I have plenty of eneloops for all sorts of purposes.  I even charge them with a solar charger. So that is such a minor minor issue it is comical.  About as much an issue as it is then to find the USB cable and plug the controller into the console to charge the battery.  Also my console is bout 15 feet from the couch so if I need to be connected while playing I need extension cables.



eneloop isnt thing. its brand. you call your tv LG, Sony, Toshiba? No you call it TV. don't say eneloop for recharge batteries make no sense. then again you think AA batteries are future tech lawl no sense in you

I say eneloop because from what I have experienced and seen they are the dominant rechargeable battery in AA form factor.  I am sorry I dont believe that an integrated rechargeable battery is more cutting edge. More of a hassle if the battery dies or needs to be recharged yet. The panacea of future rechargeable batteries not so much.
