[Controller] Think these people will be disappointed

"IN 16 CARTS"

Maybe the original controller's case will work? But probably not that great. I hope they release a case for the new one.

I guess the case left a fair bit of margin 🤷

The old joystick is in roughly the same distance from the center so it should close too I guess

Surprisingly, as someone else commented, it waa confirmed to fit. https://i.redd.it/74n3p6wjsyzg1.jpeg

I do this all time waiting for the price to go down during a sale or to get a "You forgot something in your cart" discount. If its a vendor I only buy from 1-2 a year it will likely sit there for 6-12 months.

I'd argue 'abandoned and inactive' is different than 'fake' and you're kinda moving the goalposts.

They’re definitely counting abandoned and inactive carts in that stat.

Sure. Plenty of people use the shopping cart to save items too, without a strong intention of buying it.

That is still very different from those scam sites that literally generate a random number.

Didn’t know that’s eBay, but u stand by what I said.

Are you saying the "16 in cart" and "470 sold" are a lie? In most cases, that would be true. However eBay does show real stats. Sellers can confirm what is being shown, and eBay shows real numbers. Now how much those mean is a different story.

Add the year it was made. E.g. Steam Controller (2016) [with or without parentheses], Steam Controller (2025), New 3DS (2015), New 3DS (2033)

Well they did, it's called switch. Otherwise they've could keep the gameboy for all their handheld devices.

I have the Mojora's Mask version, but I stored the power adapter in the same bag as the console and went on a road trip and the whole back of the shell got terribly scuffed. 😖 Like gouged, even. The little folding plug had opened up and sat there vibrating against the shell for hours.

How will you refer to it if a followup gets released? Or you sell an old used one? Make sure to not cause potential confusion

Ehhh it’s kinda bad. I love my N3DSXL but even the abbreviation is a bit of a pain to type on a mobile device.

On eBay there is a

**Used Japanese New Nintendo 3DS XL LL Pokemon Solgaleo Lunala console**

which is pretty funny

New Super Mario Bros made sense for a short while, but is destined to cause nerd-fights for decades to come.

"We at Valve are excited to announce the Steam Controller 2, the third iteration of our Steam Controller"

u/thingsiplay@lemmy.ml · 6 points

What will they do if there is a new Steam Controller in the future? Name it Steam Controller again? Or name it Steam Controller 2? Then every reference in the web to Steam Controller 2 would be hell confusing. I don't hope this is the start of bad naming like Microsoft got themselves into with Xbox consoles.

u/givesomefucks@lemmy.world · 14 points

I legitimately don't know what the big deal is, Ive had a Steam Controller for years...

But yeah, I thought dualsense/dualshock was bad, but steam controller/steam controller is goddamn ridiculous

u/SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de · 123 points

"We can't name it Steam Controller 2. People would be confused"

I really wish marketing departments would switch to better cocaine, sometimes

u/Quibblekrust@thelemmy.club · 4 points

I do hope someone makes a good case for the new Steam Controller. I like my Spigen brand Steam Deck case more than the Valve one, so maybe they'll make a similar one for the controller that has a nice zippered pocket for the puck and a USB cable.

Everything you see on there prudent page is a lie.

Look up e-commerce social proof apps.

They just show fake results, it should legally be fraud.
