Microsoft thinks the Wii U is "Effectively a 360"?

[Gelivable]

Yeah, so Microsoft Game Studio VP Phil Spencer recently stated that the Wii U is basically a 360.

I think their Pro Controller makes a lot of sense with the platform they’ve built. They are building a platform that is effectively a 360 when you think of graphical capability. Now they are really making an on-ramp for the back catalog of games that are on 360. It is easy for those games to move over the Wii U. They’ve moved the buttons around, and they’ve made a controller that feels familiar for 360 gamers, so I get why they are putting those pieces together.

Wait, what?

As if he forgot that the 360 controller had the same button layout as the GameCube controller... They didn't even move the buttons around!

The actual buttons on the 360 and Gamecube controllers aren't the same. The only thing that's the same is the analogue sticks. But yes, I think everyone agrees that the pro controller is the 360 controller with the right stick higher than usual.

Yeah, the current generation controller are mostly based off of Sony's Dualshock now, I believe.

I don't care if it's like a 360 controller. A 360 controller is actually a very comfortable fit to the hands when it comes to gaming.

If you ask me a Xbox controller is not fit for gaming, well only me because the first time I use one I was like, "how do people play fps and other games with this thing..." but that's just me.

No I mean general games. Not fps's.Sonic works really well with it. So do most platformers.
