Because the industry tries to nickle and dime consumers any way they can. Especially fucking Sony. Buy five new pads per year, goy. I still can hardly believe that these 200 dollarydoos premium pads are a real thing.
What the fuck? I did not know that. That's some peak jewishness.
After the PS3, Sony puts the "Sony Tax" everywhere they can even if it makes their products unaffordable and costs them money in the end. They will kill themselves if it means they can stick a premium admission fee on their viewing.
Docked Switch has two on the front and I think one behind the plastic flap thing.
They are on the side, not the front.
They both have ports in the same places, but I see the confusion: you’re referring to the front as “the side with the logo”, while I’m referring to the front as “the side opposite of where the cables come out”. I’ve seen it oriented both ways, but the way I do it has the exposed USB ports facing me.
These companies loathe wired controllers. But it's probably more of just hating USB and not wanting consumers to be able to plug anything into their consoles. The corporations need control over every aspect of gaming and consumers are not allowed to do anything on their own or make any decisions.
If that was true, they'd have gotten rid of cables for the controllers entirely, forcing the consumer to purchase their faggot charging docks.
The controller scam is so foundational that the design of the PS5 is built around it
Sony and MS do not have first party wired controllers as far as I can see. There was no wired Dualshock in the PS3 era. You have to purchase something third party that resembles the official controller but is slightly off likely for legal reasons. And they'll never cut the cord because of things like arcade fightsticks or steering wheels. But for the standard controller? They've been pushing for wireless heavily for over a decade now.
Guess I assumed you were talking about any kind of wired, not just solely wired. Point taken; I absolutely agree.
All of the big three let you plug the official controller into USB and use it with a wired connection.
The dual sense edge controller has an switch to lock the wire into the port and the battery life is so bad that's it's almost necessary to play it wired.
This is the secret correct way to have your switch dock. Logo facing out is marketing nonsense.
