That really seems like a no brainer. They sell all of those wired controllers in all sorts of different color schemes. Why not the pro controller?

Just the sales to collectors would probably make additional color schemes profitable. I'm pretty sure Microsoft's controller variations are profit machines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Halo 4 XBox One controller, which was released juuuuuuust before they announced the site where you can literally customize your controllers with 1st party parts, and I was like... I need to get out NOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the flip side, Nintendo not offering different color schemes for the Pro Controller is saving me a lot of money. I have a nearly a full set of the Wii U GameCube controllers (the ones that plug into a Wii Remote) that were offered in all sorts of colors and themes and I haven't opened a single one of them (luckily I got most of them for $20 or less brand new).

Yep, I have a bunch of those WiiU controllers too.. I think I bought most in one go when Target was going out of business shortly after opening in Canada. They were dirt cheap. It is a little odd that Nintendo hasn't expanded the selection of pro controller colors. Probably be pretty successful regardless of which direction they took. Be cool to see some 64 colors.

For me, it was mostly GameStop sales. I forget what they marked them down to, but it was cheap enough for me to visit nearly every GS in the area and almost get one of each. They look good in the boxes, so no regrets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erac | 78 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Is the pro controller's layout really that much better that getting another wired controller in the color you want won't work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the lack of a cord counts as part of the "layout," then yes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
