I've spent $165 twice on two different customized controllers

I'll buy M$' customizable controller day 1

They're NOT for casual players.

Brah that is not excuse

$150+ from a small company is reasonable because margins don't work in their favor.

MS has economies of scale working for them

Dude a company's main goal is to profit.

U mean to tell me if you sold something for 300% profit and it sold you would consider making 200% profit?

I dont know their costs / profit / margins, I bet they'd make me sick.

But it IS their goal..

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

First off I know what the main goal is of a company. Not need to get condescending

But if you wanna go down that road, fine:

100*500000= 50 Million

150* 300000= 45 million

When price the controller so high that a good number of people won't even consider it, when that could lend to lower profits

This should have been pushed as "THE" controller to get for anyone playing shooter or racers. Not for some niche group of people that consider themselves "hardcore"

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Hey my bad if i came off condescending.. not my goal. I want to have an intellectual convo

If i'm not mistaken, in a case like this, M$ distributes them to other retailers, right?

Meaning they profit whether they sell in-store or not.

They only profit off sales if its from their website / M$ Store.

idk idk

i see your point about making it THE controller vs. what they're marketing as a "pro" edition.

But gamers (especially younger cats) are very marketable

I brought my xbox over to my folks house and my 14 year old brother and all his friends thought my controller was so "swag 420 yolo" because it has under buttons modded on it like their favorite FaZe clan member.

All those kids now have a "cheaper" option because its cheaper than the competition, and theres not Nike iD waiting time

IMO either way, M$ is making a KILLING

No problem famb, it is all love of here

What I could see MS doing is have it at $150 for a while, get a buzz going, all the dudes willing to pay that price will cop

Then cut the down to $100 and watch the floodgates open because people now think it is "steal"

Slick way to price discriminate, and market the controller at the same damb time

Kinda like that one console they released in 2013 for $500 that is now $350

Wellllll kinda, yeah

But if I were to guess, that is not the only thing motivating those prices cuts.

Idk those seem like god things in live... Have to play it to see how it actually flows...

M$ getting into the 1% of gamers who want to be able to have hairline triggers and have under-button access so they dont have to remove their thumbs from the right stick who already pay $200+ on that functionality...

getting the 99% who dont even understand the purpose of that functionality scoffing at the $150 price tag

I'm VERY excited for that controller

[COLOR=#red]100% agreed... says the two people with high end controllers.[/COLOR]

[Bad Religion]

This game should be a psychological weigh-station.

If you play this game, you do not handle fire arms.
