Anyone notice the PS1 and Dreamcast are designed similarly in a way? (lemmus.org)

I did not, but now that you mention it...

The CONTROLLERS though...

It’s actually pretty cool to see an original Xbox controller next to a Dreamcast controller. They are incredibly similar. Both even had double card slots in the front

Sega worked with Microsoft a bit on the Dreamcast and tried to get Microsoft to offer backwards compatibility for the Dreamcast on the Xbox. It kind of makes you wonder if Microsoft copied Sega’s controller.

Then look at the Saturn 3D pad and the Dempa XE-1 AP to see the full lineage.
