The Bandicoot Banter

For those of you who don't know (because you're probably getting sleep while us insomniacs out there are up at 4:30 in the morning searching the internet) Sony has unveiled their new controller for the PS4, and its definitely not what you'd expect. What is it? Sony has unveiled their new Mini Wired Control Pad to target younger gamers, as their hands are typically smaller than the teenagers and younger adults (or even fully grown adults, I'm not judging) that are usually found playing video games.  The Mini Wired Control Pad is exactly what it sounds like, a smaller, more compact version of the standard Dualshock 4 controller we're all used to playing.  This smaller and more compact controller is definitely a change to the standard design that Sony has had for their controllers over the years, and here are some of the features of the new controller, as well as some of the things that were taken away and the disadvantages of it.

Currently, I don't own any current generation consoles as I'm a hermit living in the past.  The real reason is that I'm a poor college student who doesn't have 400 dollars to blow on a console, thought I'd really love to through money at either Nintendo or Sony for their respective consoles.  That being said, I did leave out a key player in my desire to own a current generation console. The Xbox One is a system that personally, I didn't think would be as successful as it was.  The biggest thing was the lack of respect and care Microsoft had for its fanbase at the beginning of its strides to sell the Xbox One.  The Xbox One's famous flop at E3 2013 was one that I thought would literally kill the system, and show the fans of Microsoft who they truly are.  If you couldn't tell, I'm not the biggest Microsoft fan, and here's the reason why.  While I own a PC and people might call me a hypocrite for hating Microsoft, you have to bear in mind that tho...
