The things that some people consider newsworthy....
Forget colors. Companies need to start making entirely different iterations of controllers from now on. Console launches should include multiple skus that each have a different model controller.
I don't think there need to be multiple standard controllers. But, I do think that it was nice back in the '80s and '90s when there were more controller options
There's still plenty of "options.," MS hit it out of the park when they introduced a smaller controller with the OG. It's for that very reason we have arguably the best controller ever designed in todays version. It's the reason we have the Elite. What I'm saying is having one option as the standard is outdated.
