RE: Next consoles coming with 2 controllers
Not a chance in hell. The margins on accessories for both the console manufacturer and the retailer are way too big. When consoles first launch, they are sold at a price where the manufacturer is actually losing money on every purchase, and accessories help make up for that loss in a big way.
Also, I think that was the first Casablanca reference I've ever heard in a videogame podcast. Well done.
@John Tarr
Then it might just be the special edition consoles. All special edition 360s since the MW2 and FFXIII elites have had two controllers.
Great podcast.
I have to admit, comparing upgrading my pc to buying a console doesn't work for everyone as I can only say what I in my situation care about. For me buying a console may be a necessity because of all the console exclusives, otherwise I wouldn't even consider it. So for methe comparison works because I actually like getting "technical" ;-)
