Colors such as white, black, and 'wasabi green'

Man, how revolutionary. How come no one has ever offered these colors before?
---

Controllers made for people with small or large hands, so the controller is medium sized?

---

Are people really offended by the idea of controllers being in colors like red and blue?

Well, the console's going to flop, anyway.

---

colors have genders ???

Literally every colour is gender neutral

Back when I had an Xbox 360 i bought a set of pink batteries for the controllers because they were cheaper

I guess no one was buying them

Isn't implying that colors are gendered/non-gendered in the first place defeating the point?

This is just a weak ass attempt at politically pandering for products that are nothing new at all...

I got SO much shit on Facebook one time for commenting that this Game Boy phone case was cool looking, but I wouldn't want a pink one. I got tons of these bleeding heart art school dropout types saying pink isn't a girl color, yadda yadda, spare me

Now now, he could just be in middle school. We've all gone through that phase.

Lol, are you really gonna start some bullshit about it again because I don't want a pink phone case? Didn't understand why it upset people then, don't understand it now.

Here's an idea for a good color for it- uhhhhh grey?

---

The hell? I just want cool colors for things like controllers. The more colors the better, and I couldn't give a damn if a color is seen as feminine or masculine. If it's a cool color I like I'm getting it. Offering boring colors like white and black only is super lame. That's not my favorite green, but it's alright.

you said it looks cool to you. so the only reason you don't want it is insecurity

if it was just you not liking it that'd obviously be fine

I'm guessing it's really just a flimsy excuse to say early that they don't plan on investing in a wide variety of colors, like Xbox does.

The design was cool, but they messed it up by only having one color. Pretty simple. You obviously like pink (hot pink is trash, pastel is superior) and that's fine, you don't need to feel offended and attack me just because I don't care to represent myself with the color you like. Why dudes on CE gotta make every little thing a fight?

How is that ugly ass green "gender neutral?" Yes colors don't have genders, but that still doesn't change the fact that men and women as a whole tend to have color preferences. That 'green' color is more like a pastel color which more women then men would like. Though I don't think anyone will enjoy that color. I mean how the hell is normal green not neutral? So apparently leaves and grass favor one human gender over the other?

I'm guessing you're right. It's a stupid spin for being too cheap to offer other colors, though.

Absolutely, they could have just said nothing, lol

Wait, they call that "Wasabi green"? That shit's straight up mint, which I personally love, but definitely seems leaning more on the feminine side. They're talking out of their asses with the PR masks on.

Not that any of it matters, it's all on its way out as soon as it came in.
