Why is the X1 controller using AA an issue to people?

The obvious solution is to get a CORDED controller. Wireless and having to charge is for the birds. It is something companies tell us we have to have. For the little convenience it offers it is also a pain when they start to die. 

i don't know, people like to complain. First world problems yo

Because derp.

We've got plenty of AA rechargeables, so I really wouldn't care.

because people are stupid and hate options and versatility. mems_1224

Because its to sell a scam accessory to go with all their other accessories and nickel & dime, userbase milking, cow bullshit.Murderstyle75

Love the damage control from lems. Just accept it, Xbone has an inferior controller.Suppaman100

How?

It's not a issue, the Sony fanboys have to bitch about someting.

A. it's an obvious grab for residual revenue (a peripheral for a peripheral device?)

B. it's not a next-gen concept at all.  Even WiiU's tablet is rechargeable.  PS3s controller is rechargeable let alone the PS4s

C. It's not environmentally concsious.

I love AA batteries.

the fact is some people care and some people dont. Sony fans are running out of new things to say to put down the console so even the small things become the most egregious. In reality it has its pros and cons but to be honest the cons do out way the pros and at the end of the day its just a small issue.

And then there is D.

For a $500 system, people don't expect to be nickel and dimed right out of the box.

sony must have issued a press release that  said they are the only ones using next gen electricity.

I really am starting to believe you're a tin-foil hat wearing vegan who lives in a tree away from the prying eyes of the NSA.

The only reason wired is an issue for people is because the PS3 doesn't offer a wired option. They just offer $60 wireless controllers while true gamers want $25 dollar wired controllers.

100% wireless is the absolute most important feature of gaming.Murderstyle75

Personally, I disagree with you there man. But, I do have friends who hate cables with a passion. 

Quite interesting to see a viewpoint from that end of the spectrum.

Lol batteries... what devices do you buy that require separate batteries these days? Only TV remote still need them. Actually, TV remote, Xbox One, TV, Xbox... now it makes sense.SaltyMeatballs

Well it's annoying and it comes across as cheap, but it's pretty much just cows here making it a bigger deal than it is. 

The new controller looks pretty damn awesome, the use of AA batteries isn't going to be a dealbreaker for anyone. 

How many god damn threads do we on the front page of SW at one time about the xbox one using aa batteries?

Well The One's controller is both wireless and wired. The only question remaining is if there will be a cash grab like you can't recharge while wired, you need a special charger sold separatedly. Once that is cleared I don't think there will be any more problems.

Because it doesn't belong in a next-gen console. (Even in a current gen console) Xbone: paying more for lessSuppaman100

It's archaic and barbaric.CJ_ofCamelot
