The study also investigated the reasons behind the phenomenon of their interface design being mostly identical. Interviews were conducted to prove the hypothesis, that similarities among gamepad interface benefited the majority of gamer audience, as it allows player to preserve skills relating to physical inputs and eye-hand coordination, reducing the learning curve of new titles or new systems, thus making new game titles more enjoyable.
