Xbox Fan Shows Off Collection of Old-School Controllers
Debuting in late 2001 in North America, the Xbox was Microsoft’s first foray into the console gaming market. To that point, Microsoft computers had harbored a dedicated community of gamers, though the company itself had rarely dabbled in gaming directly. While the Xbox was a success, it came with one major flaw in the form of its clunky controller. Known as “The Duke,” some Xbox aficionados revere the controversial controller, and one dedicated fan on Reddit has taken to assembling an impressive assortment of them.
