Sony generally has pretty hefty console lifecycles. The PS2 lasted a really, really long time, like, 13 years until it was discontinued worldwide in fact, even if games stopped being produced for it on a mass scale. The PS3 lasted roughly 1...

Limited mobility gamers are an underserved segment of the video game-playing populace. There are controllers out there to serve different needs but they're often highly-specific, in short supply, and/or prohibitively expensive. Xbox just t...
