As an older gamer, this stupidity annoys me.

You don't need two controllers most of the time. I play online. If I play co-op it online with friends. Fuck split screen

Split screen is 1000 times more fun than playing online... ^^

$$$$ that's why.
If they can extract another $50 out of every customer they're gonna do it.

I was always more pissed that you needed the multitap for 4 player ps2 games. Your friends could bring their own controllers but I knew nobody who had one of those things, meanwhile N64 had 4 player for like 5 years already

I don't really like this reason to direct the fuck word at an OP. I mean, a lot of us don't really use Reddit. That said, this thread sucks.

We should all be checking with him to see if he's seen it anywhere on the internet before we post it again here. I mean, this is all about him after all, right?

n64 didn't come with 2 controllers. Neither did Dreamcast. What is this "anymore" that you speak of?

playing splitscreen with your friends against other people online is the best.

heck, I still play my ps2 splitscreen. It doesn't matter that we have to spend 15 minutes flexing the cable until it actually connects, when that little red light comes on I just light up inside, and then I realise that I have to stay perfectly fucking still or else it cuts off and we have to spend another 15 fixing it. There's still nothing better to date.

Goldeneye, NFSU2 and gta vice city(I know it's not 2 player) are the best things of all time.

Not forgetting of course, simulations, when you crash/knock the car, you basically get punched.

money....obviously if it comes with one controller 90% of the people who buy the console will atleast buy one extra controller when purchasing their new console. Boom thats an extra 50 bucks.

Same reason why TV's don't come with a quality HDMI cable (if one at all)

super nintendo-1
playstation-1


nintendo64-1
playstation2-1


There were different bundles you could buy for more that included games and controllers, but otherwise it's been 1 per console for awhile.


I always thought it was 2, but thinking back, every time my brother and I got a console, there was always a second box with a controller. So we always had at least 2 from day 1, and I'm sure it's the same for a lot of people
