> The buttons on that controller mockup are only color-coded, which means it will be difficult (if not impossible) to clearly communicate to a color-blind player

I wouldn't bet on that being a final controller, the video shows references to the buttons by letter, O, U, Y and A. (Can see them along the bottom of the screen while showing Canabalt)

The colors also appear to be the same as my old xbox-360 controller, but I don't keep up with consoles, so you may be right about that.
