I'm all for gyro, it's been a feature of every Sony and Nintendo console since PS3/Wii released 17 years ago.
That said the time to include it was the 2020 controller revision so that developers targeting the Series platform could assume that all players had access to the feature.
Controller features that release mid-gen are doomed to have limited uptake by consumers and developers alike.
But I guess it will be standard when the next console releases so that's something to look forward to for 2027 :/
Honestly, would still be nice to have, for how much Xbox controllers are the de facto controller on PC as well.
Lots of games there between steam input, emulators, etc, where it just feels odd to not have that gyro in what's otherwise a very premium controller (I'm using the Elite controller). It's my favourite controller hands down, and yet I consider using my Switch Pro Controller just for gyro in some titles.
And yeah, better to lay that groundwork now for the next generation than miss out on it entirely.
