Unless it was a (serious) error in the simple visual representation of the controller, the Xbox controller was beaten in direct comparison by the PS3’s DualShock, not even the PS4’s, and the latter gave way in front. to DualSense in the final vote.
In short, as with any competition based on user votes, the feeling is that this award has been heavily influenced by the fans, with the Sony faction that has definitely had the upper hand over all the others.
For the other awards of the BAFTA Awards 2022, such as the Game of the Year one , we will have to wait for the official ceremony which will take place on April 7th.
