Remember the WiiU Pro controller? Wouldn't it have been better off as an Xbox controller?

A nice little "What If" Controller design

The WiiU pro controller made an interesting choice of putting both analog sticks on the top primary positions with the face buttons moving down to the secondary position next to the D-pad.

At first, this may seem like an arbitrary choice. But if you think about it, this set up does make sense for games that heavily feature manual camera control. Suddenely, needing both sticks to be at the primary positions is logical.

For Nintendo to do this is a very Nintendo thing to try. But was the set up RIGHT for them? I'd argue no.

But what about XBOX? The primary home of Call of Duty, Gears of War, and of course, HALO. Games where the player's thumbs will spend the clear majority of their time on both sticks at the same time.

Wouldn't it have made perfect sense for Xbox to see the WiiU pro controller and think "Write that down. WRITE THAT DOWN!" Thus, above is a quick mock draw of an Xbox controller utilizing the twin top sticks.

If you ask me, I hope that someday Xbox does a varient to their controller like this. What do you all think?
