Much as I’ve come to hate Xbox, this could be the beginning of signs of monopoly - they don’t have so much competition anymore, so they can do what they want. Certainly doesn’t help that unofficial controllers have never been good.
The thing is that's 100% on Microsoft. Sony didn't really do anything, Microsoft just kind of flounded around like a fish out of water.
They seemed utterly incapable of realizing that halo is their main franchise lead and should actually be good
*sad halo fan noises.
They are not good at least partialy beacuse of sony which apparently actively sabotaged them. At least dualshock 4 . It may be better with dualsense alghtough i doubt it .
Also another cavieat is that they unfortunetly are quite affordable for what they offer. Even on pc the recommendation is usualy to buy console controler ( alghtough not nessearily current gen one ). They truly pack quite a bit of technology in them.
I mean, what other type of controller would you buy on PC if you're looking to buy a game controller? Unless you're not including 3rd party controllers as "console controllers". Afaik, the xbox pro controller is still considered the best controller to use on PC, and while it is made by Microsoft, it's not a controller that comes with the console.
The PC controller market just isn't large enough to support pc-only controllers. Of course the recommendation is to always buy a console controller, pc controllers don't exist! 😂
Yes, I know some games have their own controller type like flight sticks, game pads, and OSU, but nobody is seriously using those for rocket league and elden ring.
By console controlers i meant first party console controlers. So dualshock,dualsense, official xbox controlers or switch pro controler ( Most commonly xbox , alghtough recently i saw uptick in recomending PlayStation controlers ). The 3rd party controlers are either poor quality or just as expensive and quite often both ( which is probably why console official controlers are recommended as sort of stamp of quality )
