  That doesn’t make it any better

  Whether or not it’s better wasn’t the question. The claim was that Microsoft was launching the product and being in charge of defining the price. They aren’t because it’s an Asus product with Xbox branding, just like www.8bitdo.com/ultimate-3-mode-controller-xbox/ is a regular 8bitdo controller with Xbox branding and not a Microsoft product.

  That’s all.

    That wasn’t the claim from the comment you replied to. It was about Microsoft botching a launch and making the product worse over time which Asus is just as guilty of doing.

      It was about Microsoft botching a launch

      And Microsoft isn’t launching the product because it’s not a Microsoft product.
