More options the better. For the Switch you have to get this USB thing called 8bitdo so you can use a Wii U pro controller. It works perfectly fine for games that is not fully gyroscope or motion games. I can see a similar thirdparty item to work for the PS5. What Microsoft has done to the Xbox one controllers being compatible to XSX is very consumer friendly. I dont know why anyone would not want this option. |
Lol... consumer-friendly....
I don't think its that anyone doesn't or wouldn't want the option. It's more like those of us that are ok with it understand why it's necessary. If there was absolutely no "technical" difference between the DS4 and the DS controller, as is the case with the new XSX controller vs the XB1 controller, then I would be up in arms as to why a perfectly working and identical controller isn't being supported by the new hardware.
But that's not the case, there are things that the new controller can do that the old one simply can not. And if you want those things to become widely supported on the PS5, you have to kill support for the older controller.
It would have been "anti-consumer" if your DS4 controller doesn't work at all on the PS5 which would mean that even when playing PS4 games on it you would need a DS controller instead. Now that would have been fucked up.
