Thank you for this comment, my sentiments exactly. A country doesn’t get to pretend to be a superpower, then be a whiny bitch-ass snowflake about everything that slightly ruffles their feathers.
The article was bumped so people are seeing it again. Don’t blame them, blame Kotaku for recycling their content.
Xbox 360 is the GOAT. It feels perfect, in particular in terms of weight. The only real “improvement” that the Xbox One controller brought was the texture on the thumbsticks.
