Shattered to the core, even

First thing I see on amazon when I look for playstation 5 controller

So offended. No words

How can I go on with my day?

Will I ever recover?

Is this all a bad dream?

Is this what the Upside Down feels like?

Please hold me…

PC Players tend to prefer Xbox Controllers. I thought it was always this way. Say what you want about PS5 controllers. That ish is sexy and I wouldn't play a fighting game with anything other than Playstation controllers.

That's actually pretty funny.

I don't get it. Can someone ELIA5?

Ahh, nvm. I am as dumb as a 5 year old.

 

[Loomy]

So anyone can make a thread here, eh?

So anyone can make a thread here, eh?

I think that question needs to go into it's own thread

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

[TheInfamousKira]

Ohp I found where I lost those shrooms.

I asked permission
There may or may not have a bribe or two involved as well
P.S. I don’t have any more kidneys to give

 

[OrionNebula]

MS gets off on hemorrhaging money for xbox

Don’t sell that marketing tactic short, though
It’s working on me. I now have 14 xbox controllers because of that
I’ll have to cave in and buy the console at some point, now

 

[Matsuchezz]

That is because that red Xbox controller is a dual sense wannabe it just can’t accept who’s the cooler controller.

 

[mrmustard]

Two ugly colors are the best sellers? I'm devastated too.

 

[Diddy X]

Those new xbox controllers are ugly af with the white back, if they were entirely red/blue/purple whatever they'd be ok.

 

[Three]

Two ugly colors are the best sellers? I'm devastated too.

They're not. The top is just a sponsored ad by MS when the OP searched for a PS5 controller. Bestseller doesn't mean it's number one or even top 10 and the blue controller is just a search result. This isn't a chart.

I'm not sure what is happening though. I guess amazons algorithm doesn't realise that's not a PS5 controller and that's what's devastating?

 

[pasterpl]

People are so stupid that they don’t notice sponsored message on the Xbox controller listing? In addition, it seems that Mamazon ads works for ms o]on this market 1000+ sold vs 300. Last thing, Xbox controller is simply better with, also when playing on pc.

 

[Skifi28]

The starting price has been crazy for the dualsense, especially for some of the colors for whatever reason. Thankfully they very often go on sale, at least in the old world (Yurop) so I've gotten several for just 50 a pop.

Edit: Ok, on second inspection that was probably not OPs point. Ehhh, stay strong I guess?

 

[StreetsofBeige]

It’s at the top since it’s a sponsored product placement.

Clever marketing by MS.

Click on their ad every time, that funnels money from MS to Amazon. They have around 250 billion in cash, so that will take a while to bleed MS dry, but if every PS fan would do that, well, Phil Spencer would be laid off next friday.

 

[Tsaki]

I am devastated by that "eco fee"

 

[Fart Knight]

It is the best controller after all.

 

[GymWolf]

Even amazon knows that asymmetric sticks are the shit.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Damn! 131k reviews for the Xbox controller and only 11k for the Dualsense?

 

[SCB3]

Yea they both have their benefits, I personally prefer the Xbox controller for everything but 2D plaformers and Fighting games

 

[Three]

I wouldn't pay too much attention to those stats with amazon sponsored stuff since it depends how it splits the product

 

[rofif]

As usual. M$ has to pay and force to have it their way lol

 

[Venom Snake]

That's Amazon, you enter "blow-up doll" and you have to go through backpacks, cheap watches, key chains, stuffed animals and at the end you only find a tube for blowing out candles, at best.

 

[Morrie’s wig shop]

Why is the controller almost 100 buckaroos. That should be the fucking travesty of this thread.

Just paid $70 for the cosmic red controller

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

Now I know which one to buy for my pc. The red one.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

This is the one you should get. GOAT controller, if you're on PC/Switch:

Amazon.com: 8Bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller with Charging Dock, Wireless Pro Controller with Hall Effect Sensing Joystick, Compatible with Switch, Windows and Steam Deck (White) : Video Games

[TGO]

Did you actually type in "Playstation" "Controller"
or "Dualsense"
Remember how search engines work

 

[KungFucius]

Those new xbox controllers are ugly af with the white back, if they were entirely red/blue/purple whatever they'd be ok.

Its not that bad, but I was unpleasantly surprised when mine came in and I saw that for the first time. The image does not show the white back unless you click through and look at the secondary images. Whatever it was 40 bucks can use swappable charge packs or batteries and has asymmetric sticks. My stupid PS5 controller was over 60 bucks lasts for only 6 or so hours and you need 2 or have to be diligent about charging during breaks just to be able to play a long single player game.

 

[bbeach123]

Never like the xbox controller layout (despite having many ) , you cant use d-pad while using the left stick like the ps layout .

 

[Arcadialane]

Well you have to buy an Xbox now.

 

[MaxwellParrish]

The image does not show the white back unless you click through and look at the secondary images.

You can see the white back even in the front image. It's just hard to notice because of the white background and the flat lighting. Anyway, never seen the controller in real life, but I like that shade of red in the image : sort of give a velvet-like feeling to the material

 

[kirby007]

op is such a xbot

 

[RoboFu]

Damn you Phil!!

 

[ReBurn]

You may need to put on a helmet before online shopping.

 

[HoofHearted]

 

[Topher]

OP this Black Friday...

 

[darth.shrimp]

WTF, are those the normal prices for those controllers?!

 

[Lunarorbit]

Why is the blue one $92?!?
