The official account of Xbox UK shared an image of a controller wearing a furry knit. Xbox has sold out of hoodies for controllers at a good price in the past, and this time, the item is again in the symbolic colors, and fans on social networking sites are reacting in various ways.
The Xbox color! Warm controller with special knit
Xbox UK, the official U.K. account of Microsoft’s Xbox game brand, posted an image of a controller wearing a warm-looking knit on Twitter. The seemingly strange but somehow adorable figure has received a “cute” response.
Xbox UK shared a cute image of the robot white-colored “Xbox Wireless Controller” wearing a knit hat. What’s more, they even made the part that holds it with both hands wear socks (gloves?). The color is the symbolic color of Xbox. The colors are mainly green and white, the symbolic colors of Xbox, and the Xbox logo is clearly visible on the front of the hat.
The idea of dressing up a beloved controller like a doll is bizarre, but at first glance, many people must have found the controller to be somewhat adorable.
Players have said “cute” and “I want one,” some of them sarcastically.
In response to this post by Xbox UK, there were many comments on Twitter such as “Why is it so cute” and “I really want one. Some, however, were more concerned with the fact that “they have clothes for the controllers, but not the games?” and some are sternly saying that they should focus on adding more game consoles and game titles instead of playing.
In November 2020, Microsoft released the Xbox Series X/S, its first next-generation console in almost seven years. The console was in a fierce sales battle with Sony’s PlayStation 5, which was released at about the same time, but the shortage of products and the Corona disaster had a major impact on the popularity of the console and its game title lineup.
Fans were particularly concerned about the lack of “exclusive” and “first-party titles,” which could be the most important factor when purchasing a game console, and many comments referred to this. The controller in its firmer knit is a very comforting sight. However, some Xbox fans saw it as a fluent post that lacked a sense of urgency.
Hoodies for controllers priced at 3,395 yen are already sold out!.
The “knit for controller” shared this time is only a story at this point, and is not actually being sold. However, the “hoodie for controllers,” which is not a knit, is actually already on sale.
The Xbox Mini Controller Hoodie was actually available at the Xbox Gear Shop. As the name suggests, it is a hoodie for a small controller with a hood and a zipper to close the front. It is available in two colors, black and white, and costs 3,395 yen, which is about the same as a “human hoodie.
The first batch of hoodies has already sold out. Orders for the next batch will be closed on December 15, 2022, and unfortunately, the company is currently waiting for sales to resume.
