The Xbox360 gamepad, as most other current day gamepads, features a
circular movment range, which restricts the movement so that the
distance to the center never gets beyond 1. This means that when you
have the controller at the top/left the value reported is (0.7, 0.7)
(i.e. length 1, angle 45) instead of (1,1). This behaviour is
different then most classic joysticks, which had a square range and
allowed x and y to be handled completly indepened.
