Xbox One controller design contest winners are largely green

4
The Xbox One Take Control contest asked fans to design fresh, new Xbox One controllers, with a grand prize of $1,000 – and here are the winners. Michael, the grand prize winner, received $1,000, five Xbox One wireless controllers and the opportunity for Microsoft to evaluate his design for physical production. The People's Choice winner received $750, and the nine First Prize winners won $500 each. The Best Use of Fresh Paint winner received a $150 gift certificate to CanvasPop.com and a Sensu digital Artist Brush & Stylus valued at $40.

Microsoft's panel, which included spokesman Major Nelson, evaluated submissions based on the following scale: 40 percent asked if the design was original and creative; 30 percent questioned if it would appeal to other gamers, and another 30 percent asked if the design felt "premium" and reinforced the Xbox One brand. Any of the submissions may be evaluated for public production, according to the contest's official rules.

A lot of these designs are really cool but I really think that the simpler the better in this type of application. I think that if they did chose to sell these controllers they would defiantly be big hits and would be a nice change of pace from the standard black.

Yop Those prizes should have been a lot greater, considering the income Microsoft receives


I think the prizes are fine, but I am sure there was a lot better designs than these ones.

The designs that were selected are not too bad, obviously some better than others. I myself entered this with the following: http://i.imgur.com/nCPE0Zk.png - http://i.imgur.com/R2lUARp.png - http://i.imgur.com/VUVb5GT.png

VIT not gonna lie, I prefer wired controllers because you don't need to charge them.


why have a plain controller? why not have a sick designed one like these?


well, what's the point of holding a designed controller? only if the screen is built into your controller
