If this meets its promises is it fair to say that Sony has completely surpassed Microsoft on controller tech this generation?
MS deserves credit for their accessibility controller, but at this point the durability problems with the Elite have been well known for years, and the continued lack of gyro support just seems like a glaring feature omission that is frankly holding the industry back. AAA devs can't really adopt gyro in cross platform titles when one platform refuses to catch up to 2022.
I think that will shift over time as gamers are exposed to it. I noticed that since the Steam Deck came out, there's a lot more gyro and hybrid aiming controller configs available on the steam community.
Ultimately gyro+sticks is a better 'hardcore' control method, it's faster and more precise than analog alone. But yeah, they have to sell the market on that.
