Fair enough to chime in with your disinterest in a new controller, but...

Why would anyone buy something just to say they own it? What the hell kind of "keeping up with the Joneses" shit is that?

It would technically fall under video game accessories, so I guarantee there are people who might want one because they collect that type of stuff.

I think one of the closest comparisons I could make are people who buy retro games/consoles just to display them and never actually use them.
