Let me point out two things about Microsoft: It specializes in making technology products and services, but is a big joke in the production of clothing products. Nevertheless, the company continues to release new apparel entries and ideas. One of its latest offerings for its ardent fans is a hoodie jacket, It looks great as it boasts the Xbox logo and elements, but it won’t fit you, even your one year old. Well, that’s because the cool hoodie isn’t for you… it’s for your Xbox controller.
It’s ridiculous enough for anyone to buy a hoodie for their Xbox controller, and yet, here Microsoft is offering a black or white variation of the apparel for the gaming peripheral. While this won’t do anything useful to a person, it could be a fun gift idea at Christmas time, especially if you have a friend or relative who owns an Xbox Series X|S controller. And with the growing number of Game Pass subscribers (as Sony revealed), it’s no wonder why the hoodie is selling like hotcakes. In fact, the Redmond company announced that the first batch of Mini Controller hoodies have already sold out. Also, those who place their orders by December 15 will receive the next batch in mid-February.
The hoodie is made from 100% polyester and even sports a zip and sleeves. Its sublimation print design makes it appear more like any regular cool clothing piece, but then again, it will only fit specific Xbox controllers. In terms of practical use, well, I don’t think it’s going to be of much help to you or your controller. It might give your hands something soft to caress, but you’ll need to remove it from your controller once your game starts. Besides looking cute, the jacket’s only purpose is probably a layer of protection for your controllers when you’re storing them.
The Controller Hoodie is currently priced at $24.99, which is pretty pricey for such a small piece of wearable apparel. However, Xbox fans (and Microsoft fans in general), probably won’t mind it, which isn’t surprising as Microsoft’s fascination extends beyond its tech products and services. Even with absurd clothing ideas that seem like a joke, there is always a market that patronizes them. a proof of that 2022 ugly sweater It is already sold out even though it was recently announced by Microsoft.
