SEGA’s Project Diva team has opened a 7 day poll on Twitter to inquire Hatsune Miku fans about releasing an arcade-styled Hatsune Miku: Project Diva controller for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, or even both! The poll was likely sparked by the upcoming launch of Project Diva: MEGA 39’s for the Nintendo Switch.

Fans can vote on the poll to choose which style controller(s) they would buy. Please only vote if you would actually buy the controller! We don’t want the results getting skewed by over-excited fans. The following options are listed:

1: I want to buy a PS4 version.
2: I want to buy a Switch version.
3: I want to buy both versions.
4: I wont buy either versions.

The Project Diva team says the products listed are under consideration, and the winning choice might be produced for release in 2020. Cast your vote on the tweet below! The poll will close on July 19th at 7:00 PM JST.
