This is like self motivation stuff you tell yourself in a mirror. This is fake right?

This is so cringy... but I'm surprised they'll actually get with the times and make a controller with a rechargeable battery out of the box... it only took them what, 17 years?

That was never an issue, just buy two AA batteries man.

The only issue is that it charged battery packs but it didn't charge AA batteries.

These are probably survey responses.

You survey enough people you'll get some answers like this.

I had a rather nasty argument on DPReview over the use of AAs in a camera (one that needed to be large anyway).

He just couldn't wrap his head around:

a) the convenience of being able to get batteries for it almost anywhere in the world (his safari 4x4 charged his batteries)

b) that AA batteries come in rechargeable forms too, and some like Eneloops are among the best of any batteries.

Yeah, it seems like most anti-AA people simply can't wrap their heads around anything electronic to be honest. They probably think it's better to have electronics that are basically impossible to fix yourself.

Funny thing is, they are probably the people who are most likely to try and attack/insult anything that is actually easy to work with, preferring "clean" design they are told to like because marketing departments gave them a sales pitch.

The VAST majority of gamers don't care about environmental sustainability….

I agree, but that's also not a good thing.

& remember, kids:

You're probably familiar with the "Golden Rule" to treat others as you'd like to be treated. It's good advice, but it doesn't cover when someone might want to be treated differently from you. That's why we've embraced the Platinum Rule at Xbox:
Treat others as they'd like to be treated.

Why don't companies just simply ask what gamer's want instead of assuming for them?

The voice of this player "Microsoft, along with every single member of their x-box 'leadership' team, can take their greedy monopolistic disingenuous car salesman ass bullshit and fuck right off'

Not gona lie, I do enjoy watching them fail though, and thank god they are as incompotent as they are, because all evidence points to them being completely out of touch and cancerous to the industry. Any company with the pocketbook and willingness to buy it all up only to turn around and burn it all down for a quick buck can go to hell.

We'd be better off if Atari , NEC, or SNK reentered the hardware race at this point.
