I don't think most if any had to be convinced of anything...it just feels better to us. 3D games where you're constantly holding up to move forward simply feel better with the left analog stick in the upper portion of the controller to me. A compromise that works is with both sticks on the upper side, like Ninty's Wii U placements.
Oh, damn, I could have sworn a one-year warranty was advertised to go along with the higher cost.

The Xbox sticks are definitely positioned better.

So I guess I should hold off on getting an Xbone controller for PC then? Since my wired 360 one broke, I was going to get one, but I guess I'll wait until E3 to see what's up.
for the love of god NO.
That thing sucks.
I mean "Xbox One" isn't a great name to begin with, so they have to work with what they got. Any adverb(?) after its name is just sort of awkward to say. It's just a mouthful.
"Xbox One Pro" doesn't sound any worse than Xbox One Elite" to me. Both are decent names. Actually, I think Pro is the better name. One less syllable.
I think it just depends on the game. For example, I think asymmetrical works a lot better for action games like Devil May Cry and racing games since those types of games don't usually require heavy use of the second stick and, with action games at least, use the face buttons as the primary input. But symmetrical works better for 2D games and fighters, especially since for me, I'm using the d-pad for those kinds of games, not the analog stick.
Shooters, I don't think it inherently matters. I can go either way with no issues.
It's time to bring back the true GOAT controller.

I own an xbox one and (a ps4) every time I turn it on and pick up the controller I'm like this is why I never play this thing... I would welcome symmetrical sticks.
i got the elite controller with 1 year warranty.

The xbone controller is pretty bad with its shoulder buttons. Probably won't bother with any elite console since I haven't been impressed at all with their initial offering. The only thing that might tempt me is if it's a good deal more powerful than the new ps4, which I don't really see happening
When they added 3.5mm jack they also fixed the bumpers.

Wish I had known that. Would've made DS3 a lot more tolerable haha

Didn't they make a wireless Duke you could use on the 360 forever ago but it was only something they made for an event? I would pay a pretty penny for a wireless Duke I could use for PC and X1. I'm sick of using controllers made for people with baby hands.

Aww yiss, Master Chief Bros incoming.
Chip could be anything and doesn't mean it's the SoC.

Not very interested in Neo but I can't lie, I'm super interested to see what MS does and if they'll announce a new XB1 at E3.
I've been waiting to jump in to that ecosystem and with Cuphead, Crackdown, Sea of Thieves, and Gears on the horizon I would def. be all over a more powerful, "new" XBox One.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
come on now. You don't really think that, do you? LOL
It's just saying that there were slides for a presentation (like PowerPoint) and instead of showing the NX slide they showed an Xbox slide that referred to an upgraded Xbox.
With PC having 2 major VR players, their direct competition having a VR platform, their own ties to Oculus and rumors of a higher speced Xbox why wouldn't it be a plausible outcome? Naturally an Xbox One Slim wouldn't have the juice to power the Rift but if we are already into the land of Xbox One.Five then why count out Rift compatibility?

Slide, I guess, means the chip design that is printed on a silicon wafer. What he's saying is someone at the chip fab was supposed to stamp out NX chips for Nintendo - they'd have their own design of course. But the chip fab got it mixed up with MS' XB1+ chip design and printed out a bunch of XB1+ silicon wafers on Nintendo's coin.

PowerPoint no? He got the basic chip briefing as part of making the silicon but the slides were wrong?
Edit: awww beaten. Ah well, to the point I'm curious where/if Microsoft goes with an upgraded xbox. I would love a test of upgraded vs slim in the marketplace.

Currently listening to the latest Sams Report (the same guy who wrote the article in the OP over at Thurrott.com):

Not yet at the Xbox part. Will update here if there are any news.

For the controller I think they will standardize the Elite. Maybe selling a stripped down version then sell all the paddles and sticks as an accessory pack to keep costs down.
Maybe include screenshot / video buttons too, and possible Mic for voice / Cortana commands.
The console I think will just be a Slim, with maybe a 'silent' clock increase made possible by the node shrink.
I think MS will go full next gen in 2017, with both hardware, games and marketing strategy etc. XB1 will be forgotten like a bad smell and never spoke of again!
14nm, ~6TF, HBM2.

This I could really see
(Or they includuce a Microphone in their Xbox One Slim).
But in my opinion they must definitely bring a microphone someway out to us users
Seem too good to be true, but saw this doing the rounds on Twitter this morning from Eurogamer.it https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&hl=en&prev=search&rurl=translate.google.co.uk&sl=it&u=http://www.eurogamer.it/articles/2016-05-03-news-videogiochi-insider-conferma-esistenza-di-xbox-next&usg=ALkJrhjVkGtdIk5-CcJgelvzmgeaJE698A

Reads like rambling misterx nonsense!
Haha, not going to happen. However, 4-5x the power of XBO at a similar launch price is completely plausible if they can ditch ESRAM and use the same size chip on 14nm.

That would be one hell of a thing. That kind of power could certainly power Oculus Rift natively.
It's not even internally consistent. 10Tflops but 5-6 times Neo? Isn't Neo rumoured to be >4Tflops? So shouldn't it be 20-24Tflops?
Yeah, seems unlikely. Although what are EG.it like on reporting compared to EG.net? The latter are pretty rigid on not reporting rumours until there is plenty of evidence to back it up.
Lol no convincing neccisary. After years of playing PSOne, the most comfortable position to rest my thumbs on a PS controller are where the Dpad and Face buttons are. Xbox came and put a stick where PS' dpad is, placing the LS in the most comfortable position... And the position I was already accustomed to for controlling movement. Which is great because that stick has become THE primary form of input.
On the right side, one is constantly switching between face buttons and joystick. All are equally important, and the face buttons are where space requirements dictate.
I'm more confused as to why anyone would want both of their sticks towards the inside of the controller. That location relegates then to 'secondary' positions... It's clear to me that analog controls were an after thought to Sony. I remember playing madden when Sony got into the analogue business and people were still using the dpad, primarily.

Just expect nothing at all. The only thing I'm expecting is a smaller console and not much else. I think by now anything else would have been leaked. Who knows. Better to just keep those expectations very low.

They are sourcing some place called xrays and it reads like made up BS. I personally wouldn't but hey what do I know
.I'm fairly neutral in this battle but the argument that a stick on the upper portion of the controller feels better is sort of ruined by the fact that the right stick, which requires the most delicate movements, is placed in the less-than-ideal position.
