The controller for Microsoft’s upcoming Xbox One console can be mashed and smashed by gamers for the next decade. Microsoft accessories and hardware manager Bob Brown revealed in an interview with Pocket-Lint that there have been numerous rigorous tests the company put the Xbox One’s controller through during its development. Microsoft tested 20 controllers over the past six months, pressing their buttons repeatedly between 4 to 5 times per second for a total of 2 million taps apiece. The thumbsticks are also worked over and over again to ensure reliability and the company even conducts a series of drop tests to ensure the controllers remain intact. The executive noted that controllers should last between seven and 10 years, or in some cases even longer. Given that Microsoft usually updates its console every five to eight years, the Xbox One’s controller should still be alive and well when the company’s next-generation system is released.
The First Descendant is now available on Xbox Stream Your Own Game catalog.
With the release of the v36.10 mode on June 18, Fortnite removed an iconic mode.
The new Diablo 4 Reliquary battle pass system is so scummy that players are sending Blizzard more money due to accidental miss-clicks.
Switching the screens and buttons? Nah. Some person wanted to look good to someone higher up. Demonstrating how many people buy the content will demonstrate it. Even if they have to reverse it later. Totally scummy.
It’s like a car dealership selling extended warranty in a scummy way. Even if they have to refund them later, it will technically show somewhere that they sold it and make them look good for something.
I can't believe this game came out 2 years ago already. I uninstalled it 1 year & 10 months ago.
I really enjoyed Diablo 4, but the cost of skins and various content are absurd and kind of insulting. I think like outfits were $20, I heard the Berserk stuff is ways more expensive. It’s just nuts that this is the direction they want to go in. I feel like you’d do better n sales making these like $1-$5, but what do I know?
Diablo 4 is basically a well produced mobile game. I dropped it after the first battlepass and never played again. Lost Epoch scratches the Arpg itch just as well.
Cant wait to use it on my PC.
The topic sounds kinda creepy lol. Kinda like its saying the console itself will not last that long like it will rrod. Its the 1st thing that popped in my mind when reading the topic. Anyways the controller look cool.
They better last since i lost 3 controllers over last 2 years alone playing fps'
It probably will last longer than the console itself since the exclusives wont require a controller.. The kinect will most likely be the method of control
