| Pemalite said: Not really disproving anything with this though. The Playstation 5 controller design is very similar to the Xbox controllers ergonomics, does that mean the Playstation 5 is an Xbox One successor rather than a Playstation 4? No. No it isn't. |
I would definitely agree with the other guy regarding the Xbox controller. It's heavily inspired by both the Dreamcast and Saturn 3D pads. Xbox had no real need for controller expansion ports on their console as the 8GB of hard disk space was enough for save data, yet they decided to include two controller ports anyway. Why? Not to mention the ABXY arrangement is exactly the same way Sega arranged theirs on the Dreamcast. They used six facebuttons instead of the four that Gamecube and PS2 used. Even the disk like structure in the middle is similar to both the Dreamcast and the Saturn 3D pad. It features analog triggers virtually identical to the Dreamcast and 3D Pad. It even features a breakaway controller plug in JUST like the Xbox controller does. Microsoft was clearly inspired by Sega's controllers.
