Well I've used it for a couple other games and while it makes the correct response a lot of the time, I've still had instances where I press a certain direction and the games tells me otherwise. Since I've literally never had that happen with a face button or any other controller's d-pad... yeah. Does not work correctly.
The only reason it's so easy to notice in fighting games is because you're making a lot more movements in a much smaller amount of time.
Considering so few games actually use it for more than "Press Up to turn on nightvision," the main genre being fighters, which most use fight pads or sticks, anyway... Thus causing Microsoft to not have enough demand to actually fix it, I'm going to assume the majority of people don't have a problem when they're not using it for a fighter or... SMW, somehow.
So I'm going to say that your anecdotal evidence doesn't mean the d-pad "literally does not work correctly."
Thus you're using "literally" wrong.
Thus the subject of my pet peeve.
