A lot has changed since I was a lad. We had an A button and a B button. Maybe even a Start button (which ironically was just used to pause the game...) - Nowadays you seem to be forced to subscribe to one of two camps: controllers with 13 (X360) or 15 (PS3) buttons - or a second group of consoles/systems where controllers have barely any buttons - you have Wii's gesture controller, or PS3's Move, or you forego controllers alltogether with the 360's Kinect system. Have a read on what those below have said about this peripheral shift...

Case study: Kinect Sports Ultimate Collection!

Kinect Sports Ultimate Collection Out Now
18-09-2012
Continuing the September profile resurgence for Kinect Sports, an optimised
double-pack of BAFTA-winning bestsellers Kinect Sports and
Season Two is released to retail today under the title of
Kinect Sports Ultimate Collection.
This angers me.. In our household, we have Kinect Sports 1 and Kinect Sports Season 2 .... If we were playing Season 1 and somebody wanted to play one of the minigames on Season 2, we would have to quit the game ... go get the disk ... put it in ... load up the game ...... and now this new pack would allow people to have both games' sports on one game disk.
Kinect Sports are excellent users of DLC to freshen up their games - Season 2 featured no less than FIVE DLC releases, often with entirely new sports - adding Basketball months after release.
DLC also came in the form of 'maps' - like with their Ski game and their Golf game.
Now it seems they are extending the shelf life of the Kinect Sports brand by reaching out to newcomers (not people like our house which already has both games!)
