Looks uncomfortable as hell, and a cheap rip off of the One/PS4 controllers.

I don't know man... From what I can tell Microsoft and Sony are holding their breaths. Just look back a couple years ago. Amazon was a -blam!-ing ebook company. Now it's expanded to online retailing, it's own App Store, and has since developed Kindles that go toe to toe with the iPad. If Amazon pulls this off there won't even be a Sony or a Microsoft in the gaming market. Amazons a powerful company and it fears literally no one.
-
The -blam!- is that
-
It looks like a shameful attempt at copying the Xbox controller. How could anyone think that would look comfortable though? Especially now that the near-perfect XOne and PS4 controllers have come onto the market.
-
Is amazon making a console
-
It looks like a bootleg Xbone controller.
-
How can someone sit there and be like 'we did it guys, we made a fantastic controller' and not die instantly?
-
Omg, my eyes just burned, just as bad as when I saw the ouya controller or the steam controller!!
-
The horror!
-
Amazon doesn't build excellent things, they build cheap things that are worth the price. Think about their tablets.
-
It looks like the OnLive controller with the layout changed to be more Xbox-like.
-
Looks like we're going backwards in times. Honestly how does that even look comfortable for a human hand?
-
What the actual fck did I just look at?
-
I saw this thing on IGN and it looks uncomfortable as hell.
-
Wow that looks crappy, i prefer Valves steam controler
-
I feel like that isn't a true controller they want. That looks way to much like a Xbox prototype.
-
I've read the comments below, and they pretty well mirror the comments on... well, every other site where this is being talked about. lmao If the controller looks this bad, what do you guys think the console will look like?
-
Why are companies trying to make Android consoles a thing? Did they not see the OUYA?
-
It's a square Xbox one controller. LMAO
-
Amazons new console is going to suck just look at the OUYA why would a major online retailer make such a thing?
-
As long as the triggers are like the 360 then it still looks passable
-
Oh jesus, that's the most pants-on-head retarded design I've seen... Probably ever. Why is it so blocky?
-
Edited by threefitty350: 3/17/2014 3:35:11 PMI don't own the ps4 so I can't comment on its similarities but it looks like a fatter version of the one controller hell the buttons are the same.... Also didn't even realize Amazon was going to make an android system....
-
My God, it makes the Duke look downright sexy in comparison. Honestly it looks like something one of those long dead early 90s era console makers would have come up with.
-
Where's the controller? All I see is a black brick.
-
That looks like it would hurt to hold
-
Why is this a thing?
