>Nope. They designed something that did not work, instead of trying to make something that worked.
It sold profitably. To them it worked. Sucked to be someone like me who bought it however. Compare: Sim City (EA) or Diablo 3.

That it does not function does not mean it wasn't a success for the business. EA are the worst business in the US for 2 years running and one of the most successful.

>If you have a degree in industrial design, you should know about simple shit as the gravis dpad attachment to mimick arcade sticks. There was plenty of options. MS simply did not do their "jobs", and just pushed out a thing.

Where did I say I had an encyclopedic knowledge of engineering solutions to d pad interface design? Hell, I take pads apart because I'm LEARNING how they work. I don't work in UI or product semantics.

And as for "simple". its the simple shit thats far harder to master than the fucking complicated stuff. Simplifying takes FAR longer to do than making something more specialised and complicated.

Talk to a programmer or engineer about simplicity sometime, it'll blow your mind.
