3 million? I better stop tapping those buttons like a mad man to get through dialog sequences.

I never had trouble with buttons though, analog sticks and triggers are a different story, and the occasional rage twist break crumble. Although I'm much better nowadays. And I got pretty good at putting controllers back together :)

Too bad Demon's Souls 2 won't be on the Xbone to test out it's real strength.





:P :P :P

Just kidding! Actually MS's controllers have always been solid. We expect no less.

Nice making the best controller in the biz even better

They are one of the 'happy surprises' from reveal day. I thought it was awesome, as anyone would with free ranging rabbits, that they went cordless on the X360 premium launch.

I did go through a few controllers on my PC. One game with a great fun ski jumping game, that was just murder on them. (I think the was the plan.) They didn't seem to be as well made as Console ones.

I also have some Halo Reach controllers, and they are fine. None of the issues that Wright has. Perhaps I was lucky.  I am glad I can use the same rechargeable batties in my new controllers.

I'm super excited about those new triggers.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Big deal, my friend's N64 controlers are still working and I don't see anyone make a fuss about it.

It's funny how technology has evolved. At the time, it was normal for a piece of tech to be almost eternal. Now, companys as cheap and make products that are designed to stop working after a certain amount of time so the costumers have to rebuy.

Well, the 360 controller was durable. They've said multiple times that they have improved the controller in many aspects. Good to see.

I can't wait to personally use it though and have my own opinion.

For you maybe, because the analogue stick on my N64 controllers kept wearing away.

Mine also. I'd like to add that as technology progresses and grows, the list of potential problems can grow with it. 10 years for a state of the art controller? I'll take it thanks!!
