[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 must have lost mine and forgot about it.
u/callouscomic@lemmy.zip · 3 points
It's a really nice case. Still have mine after over 10 years.
u/circuitfarmer@lemmy.world · 7 points
I was kind of assuming it actually fit. Maybe not a *great* fit, but a fit just the same.
u/Natanael@slrpnk.net · 4 points
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
u/Bazoogle@lemmy.world · 22 points
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.
u/Bazoogle@lemmy.world · 9 points
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.

u/Bazoogle@lemmy.world · 9 points
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.

Steam controller ??????

Add the year it was made. E.g. Steam Controller (2016) [with or without parentheses], Steam Controller (2025), New 3DS (2015), New 3DS (2033)
u/floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 points
Just call it New New 3DS duh
u/slowcakes@programming.dev · 1 points
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.
u/SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de · 3 points
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
u/Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 points
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.
u/Quibblekrust@thelemmy.club · 3 points
Not worse than Wii U!
u/Goodlucksil@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 points
Not really, the New 3DS came after the 3DS but still shared the library
u/SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de · 20 points
"New 3DS" is still the worst name, tbf
u/balgruuf@nord.pub · 5 points
720 would be bad and 3 would be behind sony.
u/Sculptor9157@sh.itjust.works · 2 points
Yes! They get released annually to celebrate COVID.
u/big_slap@lemmy.world · 6 points
they can pull a Nintendo and call it New Steam Controller lmao

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.

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/Quibblekrust@thelemmy.club · 6 points
Wait, there were 2025 previous versions of the Steam Controller?
u/thingsiplay@lemmy.ml · 6 points
Or just Steam Pad.
u/mushroommunk@lemmy.today · 45 points
Even just doing the car thing and calling it "steam controller 2026" would have been fine
u/savvywolf@pawb.social · 26 points
Steam Controller One.
Still have no idea why Microsoft did that.
u/DisasterTransport@startrek.website · 5 points
Well if they called it Steam Controller 2 what would they call the next one?

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

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.
u/Natanael@slrpnk.net · 2 points
It's not gonna fit. Complete change to the shape.
u/panda_abyss@lemmy.ca · -5 points
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.
