How many god damned controllers do I need now? First it was a camera, then a wand, then adding a dualshock, then baseball bats and household objects, and now this? I only have two hands, which is 4 less than the amount of peripherals Sony is throwing at me.
Oh, and this?
"Microphone attachments, as well as the ability to customize the controller with faceplates, are mentioned. Even crazier, check this: a "thumb reader used to validated the identity of the person holding the controller by analyzing the biometric data provided by the attachment."
Might just be the worst implementation of a failed idea I've ever seen.

Nunchuck!
PS3mote?
PS3...chuck?
I got nothing.
But this isn't a huge surprise; one can't be expected to hold an entire six-axis in one hand and the remote in the other.

Sounds like they're just covering all their bases. With the issues they're having with cross-game chat due to the patents of their competitor, I think they're just learning to cover any and everything. Heck, Microsoft freaking bought the company that did the majority of Sony's research on their camera technology, how big of a slap to the face would you need to take before you started to cover all your bases?

I would love to see one of the manufacturers make a core little device- like in this case a small cylinder, maybe w/ the buttons maybe not on it and then the different housings would be totally customizable, anything from the dualshock to random outlandish things- for a number of controls including sticks, dpad, buttons, you could just have a contact interface- it would be a lot more interesting that the way you have it right now on the wii where people slap big plastic pieces of crap to a wiimote
I'm getting more and more curious for these PS3motes if they actually manage to get 1-on-1 motion control in HD, that would be pretty sweet I think :-)
Holy shit, Nick, I just about choked on my lunch when I saw the picture for this story. Flawless victory! :D
So fucking funny.
Kind of sounds like there is only one. Sort of like an epic boss fight.
Hint-
It is at the end of a rainbow. And tastes like pee.

Also as I hope most of you know just because Sony filed for a patent for this stuff doesn't mean they are actually going to make it. It sounds like they are covering their bases if they decide to make the extra stuff they won't need to file more patents for them then. Pretty much what sexualchocloate said too.
Oh God. It makes sense now. Nintendo made the Vitality Sensor to feign the other companies into wasting time developing copycat hardware. Evil, evil geniuses.

"While all of this sounds need"
Neat or needed?
This could swing either way so I won't hold my breath but I do hope that mainstream games don't try to incorporate waggle into their games like all the Wii titles did....I don't want to swing around like a mad man to reload a gun every damn time.

I'm going to ask my ER nurse friend to keep a record of how many of those wands she removes once it's released. Now it REALLY "does" everything.

Yeah, this isn't really surprising at all. Nintendo did it, therefore Sony had to do it afterwards. That seems to be what the trend is nowadays -- Take what Nintendo's made and change the name. Oh, and then bash Nintendo.
I'm actually excited for this controller, though. I love what the Wii can do if a developer actually puts forth an effort, and having all that in HD with even more accurate controls sounds awesome to me.

I just want to give kudos to that picture for the article. Haven't laughed that hard over a Destructoid picture in a while.
