Former Xbox designer shares some concept art of the original controller that resembles the Dreamcast
Before Microsoft became the video game juggernaut that it is today, the concept of the Xbox was still in its early stages in 1999, when the Dreamcast reigned supreme. Former Xbox designer Seamus Blackley recently shared some concept art for the original controller to the Xbox, which bears a striking resemblance to the SEGA Dreamcast’s controller.
Blackley gained some insightful comments behind the concept art, which you can check out below.
