| DonFerrari said: 6 buttons was already present on the Genesis/MegaDrive, I think the model after street fighter II and the turbo controller. Perhaps even console prior to it had some 6 button controller as well. |
Yeah. Just reaffirms my point that companies take inspiration/ideas of each other all the time.
| Leynos said: I will say it one last time. Microsoft directly used Dreamcast controllers to model the duke after. This is not a fan comment. This is fact. The controller was by MS own admission in the book Opening the Xbox they used Dreamcast as a focus test console. They modeled the controller after Dreamcast, tho the duke ended up larger than they wanted due to the board. Why it had 2 memory card slots..one of them was going to be for an Xbox VMU that was scrapped. They used the same colored buttons and the same layout. The Xbox controller was directly the successor to the DC controller. Also like the DC the online headset plugged into it and yes DC had a headset that plugged into the controller. Not just the mic. I own it. The DC controller was evolved from the Saturn 3D pad. |
