Microsoft Reveals Xbox Controller S | |
|

Last week's Japanese Xbox launch brought with it a redesigned controller made especially for the Asian market, which featured smaller dimensions, a more traditional button layout, and a flat-out better directional pad. That's not to knock the American Xbox Controller, though. It has a lot to like, including ergonomic curves that hug your hands, two expansion ports on top, comfortable dual thumbsticks and heavy-feeling triggers. However, some players have complained that it's just too large for smaller hands, and that the face buttons have an unintuitive layout. The new Japanese-style controller looked like one smart solution to these problems. Unfortunately, it is only available in Japan. Luckily, Microsoft is listening to its consumers, and today have revealed that they are planning to address these issues by releasing a brand new Xbox controller for the American market. Microsoft's David Hufford came to GameSpy to get out the word on this exciting new peripheral. | ||

| Yeah it makes a nice change for them to take notice of what people really want, shame they couldn't have got one ready for the launch though as most people knew it was too large. |
