This is a pussy ass reason to want this. You buy a PS5 and you get a controller. If you happen to have one or more Xbox controllers in addition to that, then sure bitch that you can't use it and have to pay the Sony tax for the shitty controller alternative for local multiplayer, but to cry about not being able to adapt for the once every 6-8 month Sony exclusive, that is fucking weak.
LOL look at this guy being the barometer of what is OK and not OK to bitch about.
I'm annoyed using controllers that I don't like for a few minutes. And you're gonna tell me I should eat shit and like it while paying $70 every 6-8 months for the privilege of doing so?
The mere fact that you would consider only taking the controller out every 6-8 months in the first place is indicative of a problem. A problem worth trying to solve by asking for advice on a forum full of experienced nerds.
This issue always come to a head with a BIG ass game every gen for me. On PS3 it was Last of Us. I tried to play it using a few different third party controllers, all of which had some issue or just broke. When I finally settled onto one that was least iffy, it lacked the function to turn on the flashlight which was required in some areas. And I'd have to switch to the official controller. PS1/2/3 design has always been dead to me, left stick placement is horrible sure but even if they swapped it, the shape of the controller alone would kill it. Not to mention the triggers.
PS4 is a huge improvement in shape. Which is a good thing because after that experience with Last of Us, imagine trying to replace a PS4 controller that has more special functions,
god forbid a DualSense. I've basically given up. I played Ghost of Tsushima less hours due to this and PS gets the least play time of all 4 options thanks to it having the only controller I actively dislike.
PS is my official streaming box and the controller works great for that, though.
