Among the set of standard questions, such as assessing the level of satisfaction since the purchase of a set-top box, there are several quite interesting topics. For example, Microsoft asks if the Xbox Series X feels like a next-gen system, apparently due to criticism that users have voiced against both Xbox consoles since launch.

Even more surprising is the question in which Microsoft asks if users need any of the PlayStation controllers’ capabilities on Xbox controllers? The company is even separately interested in what kind of functionality players need?

The new Xbox Wireless Controller is an improved and improved version of the previous controller, primarily featuring a D-Pad, textured grips and triggers, and a dedicated Share button. While it visually looks like an Xbox One controller at first glance, it would be wrong to say that the Xbox Series X controller hasn’t changed.

And yet, Sony has gone much further with its DualSense controller for PS5: the device has received adaptive triggers, the resistance of which can change depending on the gameplay (for example, when firing a pistol or rifle), as well as advanced haptic feedback, which with vibration, it can create a range of effects that enhance the immersion in the game. Perhaps Microsoft has already appreciated these advantages and is preparing its own analogue?

Microsoft also asked what players think of the console’s home screen user interface, which has undergone a lot of changes over the life of the Xbox One but changed little when the Xbox Series X and S were launched? The key difference is the dynamic background, which was not present on older Xbox consoles.
