Back in 2022, CEO of Microsoft Gaming, Phil Spencer revealed that Microsoft lost between $100 to $200 on every console sold.

For reference, Sony was recently boasting that PS5 sold over 80 million copies. This is terrible for Xbox.

    I have never used Xbox controllers so I can’t speak for their ergonomics or ease of use.

    But I definitely find the DualSense controller to be more aesthetically appealing, partly due to its symmetry, and I have to admit, as silly as it sounds, that it was the second most important factor when purchasing PS4 Pro around a decade ago.

    The first most important factor being the games catalogue.

      I guess at this point, with muscle memory playing a large part, that what you had before is what you’ll have next.

      I cant use the PlayStation controllers, I need the asymmetry of the sticks. Its almost as bad as playing on the wrong invert y setting.

        While moving to the current generation, I did give Xbox Series X an honest consideration. But the games catalogue made me choose PS5 over it once again.

        In hindsight, especially after owning a Steam Deck, I am glad I stuck with PlayStation.

        Its almost as bad as playing on the wrong invert y setting.

        Yikes! I never thought about controller layouts in this way.
