Comment on Xbox One controller cost over $100M to developparent

Comments

But Valve's experiments show that Xbox controller is not the perfect ideal. Thus, there is improvements available in the range of 100M, don't you think ? Ow, crap ! That's a huge stack of money !

As a side note, I am surprised that an article where all the information is in the title made the front page. I expected some details, pictures, or analysis...

Microsoft chose a scope in which to explore. Valve's style controller branches off the tree way beyond that scope, and honestly 1) we don't know how good Valve's controller is yet and 2) Valve has said their controller is aimed to meet the needs of specific groups of games.

Is valve's controller really better? On the PC there's a huge range of possible controllers people could use, but the xbox one is the only one I see people recommending.
