At last year’s E3, the biggest game announcements to come from Microsoft were Halo 4 - and by extension, a new Halo trilogy - Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, and Minecraft for the 360. But beyond that, the company focused more on casual titles and Kinect games - much to the disappointment of hardcore gamers.

As detailed in the video below, the Microsoft Product Marketing team member James Shields explains that while the design scheme for the traditional Xbox One controller is beloved by the console’s fans, it doesn’t offer much in the way for those with limited mobility or gamers who don’t use their hands.
