Backwards compatibility

Backwards compatibility

Assistive technology and custom controllers are usually not mass market products, they have less economy of scale so can be prohibitively expensive.

Wherever possible, allow backwards compatibility with controllers from previous console generations. This allows expensive assistive tech to be reused for new generations of console hardware.
