| Recurring |
one_organization, multiple_organization |
(a) The software failure incident of unresponsive buttons on controllers has happened again within the same organization, Microsoft. The article mentions that Xbox controllers aren't the only ones reported to have problems, as Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons and PS5 DualSense controllers have also had similar issues [112100].
(b) The software failure incident of unresponsive buttons on controllers has also happened at other organizations. The article mentions that many Nintendo Switch players have reported issues with Joy-Cons suffering from drift, and some PS5 DualSense controllers have reportedly had the same problem [112100]. |
| Phase (Design/Operation) |
design, operation |
(a) The software failure incident related to the design phase can be seen in the article where it mentions that the Xbox Wireless controller that comes with Microsoft's Xbox Series X and S consoles may occasionally fail to register button presses. This issue has been reported since the launch of the consoles, indicating a design flaw in the controller's functionality [112100].
(b) The software failure incident related to the operation phase is evident in the article where it states that players may be experiencing unresponsiveness with their new Xbox Wireless Controllers. This unresponsiveness is likely due to the operation or use of the controllers during gameplay, leading to issues with button presses [112100]. |
| Boundary (Internal/External) |
within_system |
(a) within_system: The software failure incident related to the Xbox Wireless controller's unresponsiveness with button presses is within the system. The issue with the A and X buttons failing to respond, and the Y button consistently failing during gameplay, is a result of internal factors within the controller system itself [112100]. |
| Nature (Human/Non-human) |
non-human_actions |
(a) The software failure incident occurring due to non-human actions:
- The article mentions that the Xbox Wireless controller may occasionally fail to register button presses, specifically with the A and X buttons not responding sometimes, but not as much as the Y button. This issue has been reported since the Xbox Series X and S launch, indicating a potential technical or design flaw in the controller itself [112100].
(b) The software failure incident occurring due to human actions:
- The article does not provide any information suggesting that the software failure incident with the Xbox Wireless controller was caused by human actions. Therefore, it is unknown if human actions contributed to this specific failure incident [112100]. |
| Dimension (Hardware/Software) |
hardware |
(a) The software failure incident occurring due to hardware:
- The article mentions issues with the Xbox Wireless controller that comes with Microsoft's Xbox Series X and S consoles, where the A and X buttons fail to respond sometimes, and the Y button consistently fails for some players [112100].
(b) The software failure incident occurring due to software:
- The article does not specifically mention any software-related issues contributing to the failure incident. |
| Objective (Malicious/Non-malicious) |
non-malicious |
(a) The articles do not mention any malicious intent behind the software failure incident related to the Xbox Wireless controller issue. It seems to be a non-malicious failure caused by technical issues with the controller buttons not registering properly [112100]. |
| Intent (Poor/Accidental Decisions) |
accidental_decisions |
(a) The software failure incident related to the Xbox Wireless controller's unresponsiveness with the A and X buttons, as well as the Y button, does not seem to be directly linked to poor decisions. It appears to be more of a technical issue or defect in the hardware rather than a result of poor decision-making by the developers or manufacturers [112100].
(b) The incident with the Xbox Wireless controller's unresponsiveness could be categorized more as an accidental decision or unintended consequence rather than a deliberate poor decision. The issue seems to stem from technical glitches or faults in the controller rather than intentional mistakes made during the development or manufacturing process [112100]. |
| Capability (Incompetence/Accidental) |
accidental |
(a) The software failure incident related to development incompetence is not explicitly mentioned in the provided article.
(b) The software failure incident related to accidental factors is evident in the article as it describes how the Xbox Wireless controller issue, specifically with the A, X, and Y buttons, is causing unresponsiveness for players. This issue has been reported since the launch of the Xbox Series X and S consoles, indicating that it was not intentional but rather an accidental flaw in the controller's design or manufacturing process [112100]. |
| Duration |
temporary |
The software failure incident related to the Xbox Wireless controller's unresponsiveness is temporary. The issue with the A and X buttons failing to respond, and particularly the Y button consistently failing, is mentioned as occurring occasionally or sometimes, indicating that it is not a permanent failure [112100]. |
| Behaviour |
value, other |
(a) crash: The article mentions that the Xbox Wireless controller may occasionally fail to register button presses, specifically mentioning issues with the A and X buttons not responding sometimes, and the Y button consistently failing for one player while playing FIFA on PC [112100].
(b) omission: The article does not specifically mention the software failure incident being related to the system omitting to perform its intended functions at an instance(s).
(c) timing: The article does not indicate that the software failure incident is related to the system performing its intended functions correctly, but too late or too early.
(d) value: The software failure incident is related to the system performing its intended functions incorrectly, as the Xbox Wireless controller fails to register button presses as expected [112100].
(e) byzantine: The article does not describe the software failure incident as the system behaving erroneously with inconsistent responses and interactions.
(f) other: The software failure incident could be categorized as a glitch or defect in the system's functionality, leading to unresponsiveness with the Xbox Wireless controller's buttons [112100]. |
