Usually fake product will have some typo error esp. on the Names. You may observe that

Cannot really tell unless the package is open and we can see the details of the controller...The fake one probably would not have sticker and have different labels than the original..

This is an image from Amazon.com which shows slightly different wording on the box since it's for US release.

So it's most probably a genuine controller.

hard to say from the pic bro, region product may be different from other, and they do change time to time the packaging.

The best way to know is to feel the gamepad plastic, original always smooth and soft. Fake feels very differently and cheap.
Also there is a hologram sticker of microsoft i believe somewhere behind the gamepad (or was it top?)?

No there is no hologram sticker for the gamepad, but a serial number with bar code blocking the last screw at the back

I can't tell the difference.. I have one from a modded console and one from unmodded console...all wireless. I noticed that the modded one has like Microsoft word at the charging area. The real one has XBOX 360 on it. So, yeah.

problem is that those fake controller cost as much as a official controller. also quality wise its nearly the same. so spotting fake in just plain view is quite difficult.
