Microsoft has spent more than 100 million dollars to create a Xbox One gamepad

Game console of the new generation of Xbox One from Microsoft will go on sale this week. According to the latest data from the Venture Beat portal, the Redmond company spent as much as $ 100 million just to develop a game controller for this console and, before choosing the final version, created several versions with different functionalities.

One of these features was even a projector built into the gamepad, as well as the ability for the console to imitate various odors.

“Alam told us that Microsoft spent“ one hundred million dollars ”to create only one controller for the console, not to mention the whole console. When we asked him (with open mouths and wide eyes) to tell about it in more detail, he replied that he did not want to go into details, but the development was definitely worth more than $ 100 million. It was exactly the amount invested that the final result of the work required, ”writes Venture Beat, referring to the words of the head of the Xbox accessories development department Zulfi Alam.

It's funny, but as a result, it turned out that the Xbox One controller ended up with just a few minor (technically) changes and improvements compared to the original Xbox 360 controller. Isn't there a lot of 100 million for just a few improvements?
