Why would XBOX/Microsoft do this? There's no way the tiny amount of sales in first-party peripherals this would nudge would rival how many people are going to switch consoles or buy games on another console -- or give up entirely. Only reason I could see would be hacking vulnerabilities and they were worried people could softmod/homebrew their XBOXs with a peripheral somehow.
My friend thinks the amount of people who will have to switch from third party controllers to official ones will in fact make more of a difference than people switching to PC or Playstation but idk either.
Controllers and stuff are so expensive. They're like 1/4 the price of a console now, especially anything niche-ish like fight sticks and steering wheels. I would Seriously consider switching if I had an XBOX-whatever and this happened. They're so stupid. I would be pissed if Sony did this because I use a Brooks converter on that GT5 Logitech steering wheel so it works on PS4.

Bill Gates saw a tweet about hooking up a vibrator to your xbox or something like that probably.
More control and more power would be reason enough.
