Why include one? Including an Xbox One controller will increase the price $60 for... what? You won't be able to run Xbox games on this device. While lots of PC games do include controller support, this isn't universal, and most of them are third party and aren't great for pack-in. And it dilutes the messaging of this as a portable device.
I'm not dissuading you from your tablet gaming dream, but hook up an Xbox One controller to this and you'll get the experience you're proposing.
- wilsonnb2 8y agoI think the person you're responding too was implying a tablet with attached controllers like the Nintendo Switch. Indie games like Stardew Valley and Hollow Knight are incredibly popular on the Switch, so a device from Microsoft that could play the already existing PC versions of those games on-the-go while also providing a real tablet experience could probably take some business away from Nintendo.
- slantyyz 8y agoSuch a device exists though, albeit not from Microsoft. It's called a GPD Win 2.
- jamesgeck0 8y agoA small laptop with an Xbox controller is a notably less portable setup than a Switch, especially when you want to use it on something like public transit.
