No batteries please, thats last century tech :) - I dont think many people would want batteries, in fact MS get derided alot for making controllers with batteries every time they launch a new console.

You can actually have both. The Xbox 360 and Xbox One do.
It's certainly better than replacing ALL of your controllers every few years or being forced to live cabled forever, am I right?
Microsoft should really pull it's finger out and provide the play and charge kit with every controller, whilst providing the AA battery support.
I am still able to use my Xbox 360 controllers from over 10 years ago, wirelessly. Even today... And will likely be able to when I pull them out in another 10 years time.

Seriously just have two controllers, charge one and play the other, I've not once ran into any issues with not having a controller to play. Having a second controller then also means you dont need a charging unit for the batteries and you can use it to play co-op, win win.

So your solution is for me to buy 8x controllers? Because you know. I do play 4x Co-Op with people. - Buying extra controllers is simply a waste of money when the solution might only cost Sony mere cents to implement.. And there is still no guarentee you can use all your controllers wirelessly in 10 years time.

I've played many many hours on PS/4 and have not once yet needed to replace a controller - because the more controllers you have, you spread the wear and tear on them...

The laws of Physics literally tells us that it's a matter of "when" the Lithium-ion battery's fail, not if.
They have a finite amount of cycles... Which can be shortened by improper charging cycles, heat, incorrect storage. etc'.
It's actually not about the amount of hours you use them for.
I am a firm believer in giving the consumer choice and options, if you don't believe that, then fair enough, not my problem.

Lol chill, its not that big a deal.
I hardly have any batteries in the house, the only time I am using them is for some mac stuff, and I would totally prefer it to be charged by USB.... like most of my devices. I dont need yet another device using up a plug socket, swapping in and out batteries. I've got better things to be doing than doing that. When you have 3 kids and lots of crap in the house, i dont need any more junk taking up space.
So *My* consumer choice is not to have batteries...so if you dont believe in that, fair enough, not my problem (see how it works both ways :D - ultimately the amount of people who want batteries seems to be pretty small to those that just buy another controller.
