Wait, I've never used an Xbox One controller but I just assumed it had motion controls. I thought that was standard for modern controllers?

The battery life comment was just a pop at the dualshock 4. Dunno whether it was because of pointless features (such as the light) or because they just used terrible batteries, but when it comes to good controllers battery life is definitely something I value, and something Sony failed miserably at.

Over my dead body. Can't stand motion controls... And is always the first thing I disable.

It actually ruined StarFox Zero on Wii U for example.

I hate rumble. I have turned off whenever possible for the past 2 decades. That is what some might call a gimmick. You know what? I'm fine with it being there. Want to know why? because other people enjoy it and once again nothing wrong with options. Motion controls at least have some use where rumble doesn't but hey gaming is about fun so why would I argue about denying others how they want to enjoy a game? The options are great! Once again!

I've played all HALO series , but Splatoon is much more fun.
Too many people underestimate gyro-aiming.

Rumble is a feature I don't mind whether its there or gone, and I rarely ever pay attention to. So if you asked me if any game I played used the rumble feature, I honestly wouldn't be able to tell you.

Would make 0 sense to have it in multiplats this gen when Xbox doesn't support it.

You used the on paper definition. I prefer to use the definition actual gamers use. Yours has a disconnect from in-practice. I stand by my reasoning, it’s simply not necessary. 

I don't have a real problem with the battery life of DS4, but yes the battery is quite small on DS4.

What matters most in this case is context. So he being pedantic over the word is useless.

We can use whatever other name for it, the point is that several would think motion controls are pointless and unnecessary.
