Cutting the default hw setup to one controller was definitely MBA coded shortsightedness imo. It was de-incentivizing for living room multi-player modes in games, which in turn reduced a unique console advantage vs PC, all for a small savings in hardware.

Even my Super Nintendo with Street Fighter II pack-in only included a single controller. Christmas day was fun but not as fun as it could have been.
Maybe I'm remembering Costco specials or something then lol
I guess they were hoping to sell additional controllers..
