"IN 16 CARTS"
Maybe the original controller's case will work? But probably not that great. I hope they release a case for the new one.
[Controller] Think these people will be disappointed

"We can't name it Steam Controller 2. People would be confused"
I really wish marketing departments would switch to better cocaine, sometimes

Even just doing the car thing and calling it "steam controller 2026" would have been fine

I legitimately don't know what the big deal is, Ive had a Steam Controller for years...
But yeah, I thought dualsense/dualshock was bad, but steam controller/steam controller is goddamn ridiculous

What will they do if there is a new Steam Controller in the future? Name it Steam Controller again? Or name it Steam Controller 2? Then every reference in the web to Steam Controller 2 would be hell confusing. I don't hope this is the start of bad naming like Microsoft got themselves into with Xbox consoles.

Or just Steam Pad.

Wait, there were 2025 previous versions of the Steam Controller?
Sculptor9157@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 94d
Yes! They get released annually to celebrate COVID.

Steam Controller One.
Still have no idea why Microsoft did that.

"New 3DS" is still the worst name, tbf

New Super Mario Bros made sense for a short while, but is destined to cause nerd-fights for decades to come.
Quibblekrust@thelemmy.club · 3 pts · 96d
Not worse than Wii U!

Not really, the New 3DS came after the 3DS but still shared the library
Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 95d
Ehhh it’s kinda bad. I love my N3DSXL but even the abbreviation is a bit of a pain to type on a mobile device.
On eBay there is a
Used Japanese New Nintendo 3DS XL LL Pokemon Solgaleo Lunala console
which is pretty funny

I have the Mojora's Mask version, but I stored the power adapter in the same bag as the console and went on a road trip and the whole back of the shell got terribly scuffed. 😖 Like gouged, even. The little folding plug had opened up and sat there vibrating against the shell for hours.

How will you refer to it if a followup gets released? Or you sell an old used one? Make sure to not cause potential confusion
slowcakes@programming.dev · 1 pts · 95d
Well they did, it's called switch. Otherwise they've could keep the gameboy for all their handheld devices.
Goodlucksil@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 95d
Add the year it was made. E.g. Steam Controller (2016) [with or without parentheses], Steam Controller (2025), New 3DS (2015), New 3DS (2033)
floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 95d
Just call it New New 3DS duh
balgruuf@nord.pub · 5 pts · 96d
720 would be bad and 3 would be behind sony.
DisasterTransport@startrek.website · 5 pts · 95d
Well if they called it Steam Controller 2 what would they call the next one?

callouscomic@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 95d
It's a really nice case. Still have mine after over 10 years.
DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth · 1 pts · 95d
I must have lost mine and forgot about it.

I do hope someone makes a good case for the new Steam Controller. I like my Spigen brand Steam Deck case more than the Valve one, so maybe they'll make a similar one for the controller that has a nice zippered pocket for the puck and a USB cable.
Natanael@slrpnk.net · 1 pts · 96d
It's not gonna fit. Complete change to the shape.
Bazoogle@lemmy.world · 22 pts · 96d
Surprisingly, as someone else commented, it waa confirmed to fit. https://i.redd.it/74n3p6wjsyzg1.jpeg
Natanael@slrpnk.net · 3 pts · 96d
I guess the case left a fair bit of margin 🤷
The old joystick is in roughly the same distance from the center so it should close too I guess

Everything you see on there prudent page is a lie.
Look up e-commerce social proof apps.
They just show fake results, it should legally be fraud.
Bazoogle@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 96d
Are you saying the "16 in cart" and "470 sold" are a lie? In most cases, that would be true. However eBay does show real stats. Sellers can confirm what is being shown, and eBay shows real numbers. Now how much those mean is a different story.
panda_abyss@lemmy.ca · -3 pts · 96d
Didn’t know that’s eBay, but u stand by what I said.
They’re definitely counting abandoned and inactive carts in that stat.
SolSerkonos@piefed.social · 16 pts · 96d
I'd argue 'abandoned and inactive' is different than 'fake' and you're kinda moving the goalposts.
Bazoogle@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 96d
Sure. Plenty of people use the shopping cart to save items too, without a strong intention of buying it.
That is still very different from those scam sites that literally generate a random number.
sloppy_diffuser@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 95d
I do this all time waiting for the price to go down during a sale or to get a "You forgot something in your cart" discount. If its a vendor I only buy from 1-2 a year it will likely sit there for 6-12 months.
