Dont follow.

Saying how Sony turned down tech that would have made them more successful (then Move)

MS turned down an idea that would have made them more successful (wiimote)

Both comapnies each turned down ideas that would have ultimately benefitted them. But im sure were happy they both opened with gamepads.



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

Oh gosh. I even bolded the word and included a pic. The 'Gamepad' is the official name for the WiiU controller with the touchscreen.

Hence why you saying you were glad MS chose the gamepad as their primary input device, was funny.
