Why is the Xbox 360 Controller more expensive than the One Controller? The One Controller is new, the 360 Controller is used. Just because the 360 controller works wirelessly? What's wrong here? How about performance? Are they the same or is the One Controller better?

The 360 controller is no longer manufactured. That is why it is so expensive to get something good as new.

Pa

So should I get the One Controller for the price? Cable doesn't bother me.

Well, it's Gamestop… If enough people there still buy the 360 controllers that are no longer manufactured, then they can offer them more expensive. After all, people who still have an Xbox 360 need a 360 controller. The One Controller doesn't work there.

The other way around, as far as I know, not either.

Both work on the PC. However, wireless is then usually preferred.

In short: supply and demand. Seems to sell like that.

On the one hand, the 360 controller is no longer produced and on the other hand it is an original, while the One Controller is not an original controller but from a different company

Pa

Okay well, thought there was something wrong with the One Controller. & a One Controller for 25 euro is a good price, especially at Gamestop!

However, wireless is then usually preferred.

Why is it? Is the performance better then? I think it's better with a cable, then you don't have to charge extra.

Pa

Oh, how about the performance? Is it as good as the original? Wouldn't you buy that?

Pi

The Xbox 360 controller has a pretty good reputation, especially as a controller for PC. I wouldn't swap my two for newer controllers either, because I think they're perfect in terms of ergonomics.

Pa

What do you think of the brand? PowerA

Never bought anything from them. Are their controllers as good as Microsoft?

Pi

I'm unfamiliar with this model and honestly would not buy either

Pa

What would you recommend?

Pi

If I would then buy an original Xbox One controller, it's just a little more expensive than the two mentioned.

Of course, performance is better when wired. I can't say why wireless is more popular. But it just offers more freedom of movement.
