"Always dreamed of that as a kid" - Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian shares his feelings on not being able to 'afford' coveted gaming console

Serena Williams' husband, Alexis Ohanian, has shared his thoughts on the greatest video game controller. Although the Reddit co-founder is estimated to be worth $150 million, he also reminisced about the one controller he wanted but couldn't afford as a child.

Ohanian has been a passionate gamer since childhood, often sharing glimpses of his interest in the hobby while enjoying devices like the ModRetro Chromatic handheld consoles and vintage arcade games. He has also disclosed that the video game RollerCoaster Tycoon ignited his entrepreneurial spirit.

Alexis Ohanian recently put his love for gaming to good use and joined the debate about the ultimate video game controller among the Sega Dreamcast, PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube, and Xbox Duke. The Reddit co-founder emphasized that there was only "one right answer" in his perspective.

"When it comes to the controller, there's only one right answer here," Ohanian posted on X.

It turns out the correct answer was the PS2 controller, as Ohanian endorsed a user's sentiment about it being a work of art.

"Ps2 is a work of art," the user wrote.

"It really was," Ohanian responded.

After a user reminded Alexis Ohanian about the Atari Jaguar remote, the 41-year-old admitted that he couldn't afford the popular console as a child but had always dreamed of owning it.

"Ps2 all day. Your remember the Atari Jaguar remotes lol," the user commented.

"Couldn't afford the Jaguar! Always dreamed of that console as a kid," Serena Williams' husband wrote.
