The d-pad on the 360 controller was garbage. It was the only thing holding it back.

I think they’ve found a great place with the One/Series controllers.

I also really appreciate that with the jump to the Series X/S they didn’t change controllers. They had one that worked that people liked, so they kept it. And it works via Xbox’s proprietary wireless protocol, USB, or Bluetooth, so it works on pretty much anything but a Playstation or Nintendo.
