.....why does the controller need to be updated ever? I'm not grasping this concept. To me, the controller is essentially a remote control. If the damn controller doesn't work with the console, then the company sold a faulty product.

 

To take the point further, if a game or console needs constant updates, I will go out on a limb and say someone dropped the ball in releasing it before all the bugs were worked out

 

The more I read about next gen consoles, the less I want one. Sucks since there are a few games I'm looking forward to, but the "next gen" seems to have a LOT of unnecessary bullshit that last gen didn't have to deal with

The controller has firmware, as does all electronics. The Xbox controller firmware can be upgraded to fix problems that were not apparent at time of testing, such as the disconnect bug
