Because they were last to the market with D-pads. Nintendo, Atari, Sony, and Sega (along with a bunch of other companies) already have patents on D-pads, and without paying royalties Microsoft has to come up with their own solution. If they tread on any of those patents, I'm sure they will sue Microsoft as that is a lot of money to be made. I'm sure Microsoft could do better, as people have already hacked the controllers and made them better with minor modifications, but who knows why Microsoft never really fixed it. @topic They have been using controllers for the last 2 or so years to control vehichles, but it is still pretty cool. |
Thats a shame, hopefully the next Xbox Controller will be vastly improved. I don't remember the Original Xbox Dpad being as bad as the 360's ...
